You might be able to try using a later version of gcc; gcc tends to get significantly better at size optimisation with each new major version. Alternatively, you can disable a couple of features that you don't need in config/general.h. For example, very few people need multiboot support, and forcing "#undef IMAGE_MULTIBOOT" in config/general.h will shrink your image by around 1.5kB before compression.
