At least you got a decrease! Using your .config I got the same 574 byte
savings:

14310698        1810160 5722112 21842970        14d4c1a vmlinux-orig
14310124        1810288 5722112 21842524        14d4a5c vmlinux-new

I'm attaching my .config which is basically a defconfig with a few extra
configs for my h/w + kvm + ext4.

Thanks,
