Yeah, some folk have been aggressively adding bloat
to the gadget stack, starting by forcing init-only
code to stick in memory all the time, and this kind
of link bug is a symptom of code they've touched but
not fixed fully.

For now I don't see any option beyond accepting the
bloat. Part of it is caused by non-USB tools which
also promote bloat, ignoring the fact that embedded
Linux tends not to have MegaBytes of RAM (or flash)
to waste, in the way that most x86 systems do.
