Difficult to tell without looking at the detail. But you may want to do an
arm-elf-objdump --syms to see where the space is going.

Make sure you remove unnecessary packages from your configuration. In
particular, disable device drivers if you don't use them. Make sure you are
using selective linking by compiling everything (including your
application) with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, and linking with
-Wl,--gc-sections.

For what it's worth, you should be able to reduce the size a lot from 33K.
