ive been trying to limit myself because i'd prefer to try and fix it rather 
than just dump the bugs on the list ;)

yes and no ... the classical format of FLAT duplicates a lot of resources as 
you describe, but FDPIC ELF works on NOMMU which means we can share 
executable segments ... the Blackfin port supports both :)

people working on NOMMU systems pretty much exclusively use uClinux-dist ... 
they tend to upgrade packages only when there's a bug which is why they're 
still using busybox-1.00

as i mentioned, the Blackfin port will be tracking the latest stable busybox 
so NOMMU should get plenty work out ...
