The tarball is two whole megabytes smaller! It would be even smaller if /usr/lib/git-core were gone - three whole megabytes smaller. But a working git is useful. Perhaps some of these can disappear... That is for a future release, however :)

C{XX}FLAGS=-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -Os -pipe

This release features an update of all the packages:

baselayout 1 8
busybox 1.33.0 1
bzip2 1.0.8 1
curl 7.76.0 1
git 2.31.1 1
gzip 1.10 4
kiss 5.2.5 1
libressl 3.3.1 1
xz 5.2.5 1
zlib 1.2.11 3

Toolchain packages are no longer installed (considering they're basically useless junk without their very important libs).
Instead of adding a whole other tarball you can download and unarchive to restore functionality, I've just taken advantage of the features kiss provides. Now simply install $pkg-bin from the KISS-static/bin path and you can find gcc, musl, binutils, flex, and make ripe for all your needs.
Technically we could probably get rid of xz and zlib, but it wouldn't offer up much more space-savings and would basically present a barrier to users who want to use this for more than just a small recovery system.
In order to maintain functioning git features, /usr/lib/git-core is the only thing left in lib. This means that you can still clone this repository and install the bins required to have a system that can proceed with the regular install guide!
