Have you forgotten, for each one added from asmutils, it can
be removed from the busybox binary? And the savings is that
these hand-optimized routines are smaller and faster than
anything the C compiler can generate. I think I'll see about
doing that myself, as the muLinux busybox sources are present
in the GCC addon.
