It works and its in the CVS now. I just had to place the sofini.o
after the libc_pic in the gcc call and the segfault was gone.

The script prints out the symbols used in each library and _NO_ symbol
is used from libm, which results in a 3K libm. I added a hack to not
link libraries against libm, which saves a few bytes as well. :)
We could make a hardlink from libm to libc, since it already provides
all symbols in libm that are used. That would save another 3K.
Alternatively we could figure out a way to remove the libm from all
binaries and unreduced libraries.
