When you link your program link only the parts that you need.
llvm-config --components will tell you the components. For example, you
will need the codegen code, but not the .bc bitcode/assembly parser or
the JIT. When you statically link, you will only get the used functions
(and their dependencies) in your executable. If you need the actual
static library files on the device, I think you may be able to omit the
ones that you do not use.

Hope this is any help,
