The current kernel with a configuration similar to the default
configuration for the 0.1.3 version,
compiled with BCC has a code size of 51216 bytes. With the new
compiler, size is 48288 bytes.
This is 2928 bytes less (5.7%).

Actually, code size <=  64KB and separately  (data + bss + stack sizes) <= 64KB.

No, those limits still holds.
