Hm, I get the same error now (clean rebuild). Earlier (last week) it was 
working (building and running on my router). I guess something got added that 
increased the size..?

I'll await further discussion on whether to make the partition size dynamic, 
as I agree with Felix that removing drivers from the kernel (into modules) is 
not a viable solution for the long(er) term.
