Probably.

I think that ideally we'd generate the tables from the sboxes at build time,
rather than merely commenting them and pasting in the result.  Ideally, we'd
generate these tables into different source files, and thus into different
object files, and thus the object file would only get pulled in when used.

So ideally the issue of size would be a non-issue.
