That's actually normal, the GCC-4.9 branch also produces a 11MB hello
world. There's a new feature in GCC-4.9 which allows to remove
templates from executables in some cases and as it's not supported in
GCC-4.8 that could cause a difference.

You can use 'strip' (arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-strip) to get your 11MB
hello world to a reasonable size.
