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.
