That must be either some difference in allocating space for the root filesystem or related to having a lot of debugging info and not stripping the one from HEAD. The Cavium Simple Executive (I don't know if the proprietary port you're using uses it or not) adds some bloat, but nothing like that much. My kernels, n64 and o32 both, are around 8M. I'm not embedding any sort of root filesystem.
