I seem to recall that when I rebuilt the latest e2fs utilities, I made them with the ELF_SHARED option. The resulting shared library and executables were huge though.
So I stripped mke2fs, e2fsck, and libext2fs.so.2.
Their sizes all greatly reduced, and everything worked (is working) fine.

Could you actually strip a shared lib? I'm no expert either, but I would
have figured you'd just have the same problems. I'm too chicken to test it
on my machine. ;-)
