Well, common/advancedetector.cpp is not necessarily representative for  
all files; overall, the effect was lower than I hoped for. Still, a  
few kb on my intel mac.

Anyway, try adding a

  #define DISABLE_TEXT_CONSOLE

and recompile. And maybe post an updated list of the biggest *.o files  
you get with current SVN. And maybe with the theme.inc trick applied I  
described -- i.e. from the trunk dir, run:
   rm gui/themes/scummclassic/classic_layout.stx gui/themes/ 
scummmodern/scummmodern_layout.stx
   cd gui/themes
   python scummtheme.py default scummclassic
Optionally, you can finally run
   python scummtheme.py makeall
to recreate the .ZIP files, but I think you don't need them


I would perform a test compile myself, but I currently can't compile  
the DS port, it complains about these file missing: icons_raw.h and  
keyboard_raw.h.

Bye,
