In particular printf() drags in about 70k of code because it is built on top of the standard stdio library code which also pulls in malloc().

I think you're off by 10x. :)

WIth "enable_small_c_library" and "enable_reduced_device_drivers" options enabled, then "Hello world" with a JTAG UART console takes 7KB.

Without those options enabled, it is around 28KB.
