--- Comment #3 from Claudio Luck <c.luck at datact dot ch> ---
Is this truly a practical problem? Virtually every space-constrained system
makes use of compressed firmware images, or has readily access to that
tecnology.

Thus, I wouldn't expect the accumulated binary size to actually consume
significantly more physical storage.

I ask, because the alleged "fix" [1] to this space issue introduced a
regression [2] which effectively banned GNU/Linux from systems with larger
pagesizes, which, contrary to the assumption in the commit, exist commercially
and in large numbers.
