The GCC compiler upgrades from 4.1.2 (13.0) to 4.8.3 (14.1). Whenever the GCC compiler updates, software sizes changes, where in this case, it increases the size. You could try to tweak some BSP settings via the BSP editor. ie reduced driver, optimization, small c library, clean exit.

Can you increase on-chip memory size?

Another (not recommended) way that you can do is to keep the 13.0 elf and use it on the 14.1 hardware. Since your system has no changes and the base addresses are the same. Again, I need to stress that this is not recommended.
