You can counter that additional size and more by adding --gc-sections to
the linker command line and -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections to gcc.
That will probably even get rid of the weak implementation if a strong
definition is provided.

There's a catch though -- if your linker script isn't prepared for
this, things will break.
