But that is exactly how you put together BL3, only the essential 
libraries, and your no-xvesa.tgz and x-libs.tgz.  Why install the entire 
glibc package when you need only two files from it?  Or all of xbin?

The main file itself is probably considerably bigger, they just left out 
some of the files ending in .a.  I have it on one computer (SW9.1 glibc).
I suspect it also takes up more RAM - want to check?  I prefer to keep 
using SW8.1 glibc so I can compile with it and use the results on all my 
computers including those with low memory and smaller hard drives.
