Which arch is this?  On x86:
	    
    [root@slag busybox_udeb_builddir]# ll ./busybox.help
    -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       148988 Jun 11 10:48 ./busybox.help*
    [root@slag busybox_udeb_builddir]# ll ./busybox.orig
    -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       136188 Jun 11 10:47 ./busybox.orig*

So on x86, enabling BB_FEATURE_VERBOSE_USAGE adds 12.5k, and brings the
busybox.udeb binary to 145k.
