It seems INSTALL kernel could be shrinked:
- file-system KERNFS is not needed if ramdiskbin contains x_dmesg
- maxusers could be reduced (I guess 4 is enough)
- The number of pseudo-device bpfilter could be reduces (or simply be disabled)
- (options USERCONF is actually required?)

gcc-2.7.2.2 cross package is left only for a.out environment.
To build -current binaries, build.sh is enough. see
