I can't see it helping *that* much, for me I have:
charon:~/wk/linux% size 2.4.x-cw/vmlinux bk-2.5.x/vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 2003887 120260 191657 2315804 23561c 2.4.x-cw/vmlinux 2411323 267551 181004 2859878 2ba366 bk-2.5.x/vmlinux
gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
this is for functionally (in terms of .config) equivalent kernels.
