Right. It's an interesting question.
I could introduce uClibc++ (or even LLVM's libcxx) to the packages feed and link statically to that for specific packages to probably reduce the size further. I'd rather not. I also have https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/14873 that I need to update. I'll make the iperf change there. > > - Felix _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
