Description

the "million EDG binaries" (30MB zipped, 140MB raw) would compress well with git

transfer size would stay the same, but storage size would be much smaller = no need for amazon S3 server

migrate tarballs to git:

```sh
#!/bin/sh

if [ -d gitrepo ]; then
echo "error: folder exists: gitrepo. to run test again, run: rm -rf gitrepo"
exit 1
fi

mkdir gitrepo

git -C gitrepo init

release_list="$(cat < compiling object code with the `-ffunction-sections` and `-fdata-sections` compiler flags. This has the effect that if you 'insert' a function into a translation unit, the insertion does not cause all of the addresses to change across the whole object file.
