I'm not sure if that is quite the case today.  You can do actual "work"
with GNAT for Mindstorms NXT, where you have the application and
run-time for ARM Cortex M series in 64 kb.  (The run-time may still
account for a few tens of kb.)

When I target the 8 bit Atmel AVR MCUs I usually work with a
"zero-footprint run-time".

Greetings,
