Well, out of
curiosity, I'm going to attempt to build gzip and wget on
it.
I hope it doesn't crash.
It probably won't crash, but the compiler might or might not be able
to wedge all that code into the available code space.
Checking on a handy 64-bit Linux system, the gzip binary is under 64K
total size, so that might not go so poorly. OTOH, wget is nearly
256K. That will be "fun" to adapt. I recommend paring back unneeded
features and learning how overlays work.
