I'll give that a try. I can't disclose what we are doing that causes the increase in size, but it needs to be in place very early in the boot process.

We are continuing our hardware development efforts based on Linuxbios,
and have run into a bit a of snag. Our modifications to linuxbios
have caused the linuxbios.strip file to slightly exceed 64K in size.
This causes problems in the build process, specifically:
dd if=linuxbios.strip of=linuxbios.rom bs=1 seek=`expr 65536 - $size`
68060
dd: invalid number `-2524'
What is the correct procedure to increase the available space?
There may be a justification for doing so, but there are some
technical challenges with doing this, which could easily
result in a BIOS that won't get to the C code.
As a short term work around you can decrease the number of debugging
messages compiled into linuxBIOS.
## At a maximum only compile in this level of debugging
option MAXIMUM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=8
What are you doing to LinuxBIOS that causes it to exceed 64k?
Most canidates I can think of should be moved out into a bootloader.
