Not related to mdev: I am trying to fix it by (1) seriously reducing
the size of data+bss and (2) making libbusybox build option work ewll
for those poor souls who sits on arch which is incapable of reusing
text+rodata segment of loaded executables.

I need some feedback if these efforts don't work well.
