They may not be feature-equivalent in reality, but it's hard to generate
something that has the features (or lack there-of) of old kernels these
days. Which is problematic.

But some of it is likely also compilers. gcc does insane padding in many
cases these days.

And a lot of it is us just being bloated. Argh.
