Just for your info, I was comparing dynamic programs, not static.  Since
libc is shared which crunchgen'd install tools, I didn't want to include
the libc overhead.  For static binaries on 1.3.3 pmax:

	text    data    bss     dec     hex     filename
	410568  10260   25676   446504  6d028   /usr/bin/tar
	388568  5652    57544   451764  6e4b4   /bin/pax
	258088  3344    24904   286336  45e80   pdtar
