I'm currently working on various options from turning back the time via
an AA or some magic (unlikely :-) ), or patching back to the old version
(plus a few fixes that are needed for FTBFS) but also trying to shrink
size on the new versions if that is reasonable.

It is already built with -Os so not much the compiler can help
automatically, but OTOH at least reverting gets us inside the old range
- so it is not that toolchain changes were the cause for the size
increase.
