Wow, very good finding!

Could you clarify in which configuration you found that over 1 MB of
disk space gets saved?

Here, my dhcpcd binary, unstripped looks like this:

-r-xr-xr-x. 1 thomas thomas 327K  8 nov.  23:22 dhcpcd

So, 327 KB. How can 1 MB be saved?

(Note: of course this doesn't remove anything to the relevance of your
patch, but I'm curious how you got that number).

Thanks!

Thomas
