Yep, sorry that was uml with debugging info.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8656 May 16 20:27 fs/ramfs/ramfs.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11688 May 16 20:24 mm/shmem.o-tmpfs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18592 May 16 20:20 mm/shmem.o+tmpfs
That's an -ac kernel, so ramfs does accounting and is a little bigger
than yours.
So the read/write support in tmpfs is about the same size as ramfs.
