This discussion is going off on a tangent but...

you do realise that there's an overhead associated with dynamic libraries, 
right? The code runs slightly slower due to indirect access to functons and 
data, and there's a start-time impact due to the relocation and dynamic 
linking. Even if you use prelink, the problems do not go away completely.

I find it hard to believe that you have a device with "small NOR/NAND flash" 
(your words), a very quick processor and large amounts of RAM to cache 
everything.

Without knowing the specifics, I find the situation inconsistent. You're 
probably better off statically linking everything into one huge binary, using 
the Qt feature system to drop features from the build. Remember to drop the -
fPIC flag when building Qt too, to improve code generation.

Please take a look at this email from almost exactly one year ago and the 
thread it belongs to for more information:
