Ok, i gave it another try with different optimization levels (-xO2,
-xO3, without and without -xspace) and i could squeeze the file size for
about 150k each (ended up with -xO3 -xspace).

Updated packages are in testing/. As its still the same day, REV and
thus the package file names staid the same. How do you differentiate the
updated package in such a situation?

Right now pkg-get (and pkgutil) won't let me upgrade the package.
