Is there any possible ways to reduce the size of the mkfs.xfs binary?  

I am working on adding support for direct XFS installation to the
Debian boot-floppies, but the size of mkfs.xfs is proving to be a real
problem (we are already very tight on space as it is).  

from what i can tell by briefly looking at it, libuuid appears to be
statically linked into this binary? is this correct? making this
dynamic would help a little (probably not much but i can use every
kbyte i can get).  also its built with -O1 optimization, is there any
reason for this?  would -Os be potentially problematic?
