Embodiments described herein disclose the use of a compiler pre-processing component for the optimization of a firmware image so that it can be made to take up less space in a memory device without the use of compression. Embodiments identify repeated modules or common components across previously separate binary firmware modules within a body of software and automatically and seamlessly merge the content of these modules so they occupy less space in their binary form. The overhead footprint of the binary is reduced without modifying the pre-existing source code defining the individual components. In general, the resulting space savings is additive to the savings provided by existing compression savings techniques.
