See this patch:
  http://www.rockbox.org/viewcvs.cgi/firmware/common/dir.c?r1=1.25&r2=1.26

What it does is change array-using code into pointer-using code. From this:

/* find a free dir descriptor */
for ( dd=0; dd<MAX_OPEN_DIRS; dd++ )
   if ( !opendirs[dd].busy )
      break;

into this:

DIR* pdir = opendirs;
/* find a free dir descriptor */
for ( dd=0; dd<MAX_OPEN_DIRS; dd++, pdir++)
   if ( !pdir->busy )
      break;

It does this in a couple of places, which all in all gives roughly 250 bytes shorter code.
