A few options include:

* Enable the linker for your assemblies
* Use LLVM for compilation, this will make your code smaller
* Avoid "fat" binaries, and target a single platform (armv6, instead of both
armv6 and armv7)

Look at the generated dll files in your build process, chances are that you
are bringing a lot of code through innocent looking dependencies.
