oh i see, i didn't realise that thumb was pure 16 bit.

my apologies.

so i guess i meant thumb2, which would have the same effect of the
mips16/minterlink-mips16 flags that i use to "collapse" 32 bit executables?*

apparently it's all called thumb though? not trying to escape your (very
welcome) correction, but i just wanted to share my surprise at learning this.

* often a nice savings in binary size.

of course i concede if you use a sophisticated compression algorithm on the
root file system containing these binaries, there is a significant reduction in
the benefit of the root filesystem compression (possibly even detrimental).
