V3 doesn't result in a larger binary any more, at least as far as my own

Then please do test this V3 patch and verify if the issues you raise 
still apply or are fixed.

Please make sure to indicate which source commit you're testing on and 
which toolchain you're using, and to compare with V3 results.
