I am currently working on a 256k binary for the Atari Lynx. We aim to 
release a Multicart 2006 around June. It is a collection of lots of 
homebrew games and they are all linked together in one link pass. The 
idea is to have lots of downloadable overlapped segments on the ROM. I 
am very interested in any technology that would shrink the size of the 
code. Sharing the c-library and most of Lynx specific subroutines helps 
a lot already. I am also going to use compression for ASCII text and 
graphics but making the linker compress binaries on the fly before they 
get in the ROM-file is beyond my skills.

I am very interested in trying the optimizer on the code. It could help 
in squeezing just one more homebrew on the final cart.
