How much of that is .text or .rodata, are they built with the same set
of extensions, does xdpyinfo bear that out, is that actually the fbdev
driver or a hardware driver, etc.

Also, what's the resolution and depth of the display under test, since
Xfbdev does not use shadowfb by default but Xorg+fbdev does, and that'll
show up as a malloc the size of the screen.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in favor of reducing the xfree86 footprint, I
just believe the case to be overstated.
