ELFUTILS / Embedded configuration

I wonder how you're calculating that.  Here on a relatively fresh
elfutils build tree, backends/*.os totals about 135 KB of .text 
and 20 KB of .data.

Not that easy, there are hard-coded references from
libebl/eblopenbackend.c.  We could certainly consider patches that
make this more flexible (see "--enable-targets=XXX,YYY" on other
toolchain components), where even those few hundred KB are a problem.
