Looks fine.

One point to take into account, in my experience, is that to be fair with size
savings checks, you should build with -Os.

Otherwise compiler seems to behave in a wildly unpredictable way with respect to
code size - sometimes removing code results in size increases as compiler
decides to e.g.  unroll some loops.
