You'd be surprised.  It didn't do fomit-frame-pointer and regparms at
least.  Adding all the options that klibc's Makefile does gives:

$ size src/dash
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  61749     356    5940   68045   109cd ../klibc/src/dash
$ ls -l src/dash
-rwx------  1 herbert greathan 62580 Oct 30 08:47 src/dash
$

That's with job control enabled.  Turning it off gives:

$ size src/dash
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  60417     324    5940   66681   10479 src/dash
$ ls -l src/dash
-rwx------  1 herbert greathan 62068 Oct 30 09:06 src/dash
$

I bet it'll shrink by at least 800 bytes still if we tell ld to not
pad the segment start to page size.  That's statically linked too so
it'll get even smaller when it's shared.

This passes all my regression tests under 2.6 apart from tilde
expansion and ulimit which doesn't work due to klibc restrictions.

So how about putting this into klibc instead of klibc's ash?

Cheers,
