To get a 4.1 size of 500Kb, the executable must be stripped. The
default bin produced isn't stripped, so you can start there.<br>

Thanks for the suggestion. Your changes reduce the binary
size by 100Kb. However, the binary went from ~500Kb to 2Mb
when updating from 4.1-ESV-Rx to 4.3.4, so the 100Kb is not
really a significant reduction.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New

that makes any difference. And the main reason for the
upgrade is to support all the new dhcpv6 options,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New

<br>
If you do not need the client to support DNS updates, you
can compile it out. To do so you need to:<br>
<br>
1. Undefine NSUPDATE (comment it out) in includes/site.<br>
2. dhclient_ddns_cb_free(), needs to be wrapped with
NSUPDATE conditional compilation.
<br>
<br>
Rebuild.<br>
<br>
I have attached a diff, containing these changes. The
resulting client is notably smaller. Please note that,
these changes have<br>
not been tested and are use-at-your-own-risk. <br>
