10 You can disable whole classes of algorithms on the command line with the LTC_NO_* defines. From there you can manually turn on what you want to enable.

12 The following build with GCC 3.4.4 on an AMD64 box gets you AES, CTR mode, SHA-256, HMAC, Yarrow, full RSA PKCS #1, PKCS #5 and ASN.1 DER in
13 roughly 40KB of code (49KB on the ARMv4) (both excluding the math library).

18 Obviously this won't get you performance but if you need to pack a crypto lib in a device with limited means it's more than enough...
