 No, this is certainly not good, it fixes 4.2+ and simultaneously breaks 4.1-.

 What is wrong with Thomas's proposal to remove the unneeded versions in a
post-build script? If your size is so important that 640K matters, you would
probably anyway want to keep only one of the six binaries instead of three
different chip revisions.
