10You 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.

12The 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
13roughly 40KB of code (49KB on the ARMv4) (both excluding the math library).

18Obviously 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...
