This example single-applet configuration would trigger the bloat:
CONFIG_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_XZ=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_LZMA=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_BZ2=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_GZ=y
CONFIG_BUNZIP2=y
# CONFIG_ZCAT is not set
# All other applets disabled
Here, the resulting "busybox-bunzip2" binary would contain
unpack_gz_stream, unpack_lzma_stream and unpack_xz_stream functions
code. In other words, the gzip, lzma and xz decompressors' code are
linked into the binary unnecessarily.
This happens because SEAMLESS_MAGIC != 0 and compiler is unable
to figure out that SEAMLESS_MAGIC bit is never set.
Fix this by disabling SEAMLESS_MAGIC option flag (setting its value
to 0) when zcat is disabled. This will help the compiler optimize out
bbunpack() and no longer generate open_zipped() function call.
