I always change MAX_THREADS in thread.h to 1 since these embedded devices are single cores. This reduces the memory footprint significantly, even being necessary to get it to run at all on some of the ones I have with 16MB. I haven't actually tested this in a while-- just doing it as a matter of course. Possibly you switched to dynamically allocating when the maximum was increased to 32.

I always change -O3 to -Os. Every one of these devices benefits from that.
