Probably.

I am no longer developing stuff for BL2.  My focus is entirely
on BL3 now.

Around the same size.  But, if you are running glibc2 libraries, 
you would be better off with a dynamic glibc2 version.  I suspect
that some (most?) of the problems we are having with Xvesa are
caused by the way it was compiled (static uClibc).

They work fine with a normal Xserver, but they crash with Xvesa.  
Usually the crash is immediate.  Sometimes the program comes up 
fine, but crashes the first time you click on it.
