upx 1.24 produced a upx-ed links-0.95 that appears to
work well. 180K instead of 380K. That makes a huge
difference.

Keep in mind that links-0.95 is statically compiled.
It will probably work in BL2 (or any other Linux).

I just mounted the BL3.50 partition and ran upx-ed links-0.95 from BL2.

How did you get a static version to compile smaller than the libc5 and libc6 versions?

libc6 links-0.93 from BL2.1 is 488K
libc5 links-0.90 from BL3.40 is 428K
static links-0.95 from BL3.50 is only 388K

Did you omit anything besides language and charset support?
