Comment(by igloo):

 As I understand it:
  * Where the same code is compiled by 7.0 - 7.6, we're seeing roughly the
 same size results
  * Bindists have grown, but generally sources grow too. e.g. 7.0 didn't
 include hoopl, GHC continues to do more stuff, etc.
  * The HEAD branch is bigger than the release branches as it includes
 extra libraries (dph etc)
 so I'm not sure that we still have anything unexpected to investigate?
