No, this is not the stripped version, that's right. The stripped version
is about 10megs - but that is still alot since my target has only 32 
megs of flash.
I'm pondering on changing the Makefile for libgcj.so so that it does not 
include (most of) java.awt.*, javax.swing.*, etc.
That will give a couple of megs, I reckon...

But the times I've tried compiling my own jar-archives into .so files, I 
recall there has been rather huge difference in resulting sizes using 
-Os instead of the default (-O1?) - a factor of 1.5-2 was not uncommon, 
as far as I can remember (been a while)...

I guess you're right there!
