You can improve them a bit. I just looked at ceropackages repo and you
seem to use -O2 optimization, rather than -Os (size). That is when
compiling bind library. See
ceropackages/net/dhcp4/patches/001-bind-exports-fix-make.patch. I don't
know OpenWRT build system to know with which parameters packages are
built. Even assuming that they are built with -Os as they should be,
this CFLAGS override will make sure that BIND lib will be built with -O2
rather than -Os.

It won't do miracles but it should go down by a little bit. On regular
amd64 the difference is around 70KB. Not much, but it's better than nothing.
