I've observed the same thing, and the ports which had this problem
last I looked was the pmax and mipsco ports.  I tried adding
LIBSA_FS_SINGLECOMPONENT to Makefile.booters on the pmax port, but
that didn't reduce the size sufficiently to squeeze it in under the
limit, and I could not see any other obvious fix to the problem.
