gPXE is already compressed.

Which driver are you building in?  It sounds like you need a
HTTPS-only boot ROM, which doesn't need to provide PXE/UNDI.

config/general.h and config/defaults/pcbios.h contain the config
options gPXE ROMs are built with.

I suggest trying the following:
1. Remove SAN stuff (sanboot, iSCSI, and AOE).
2. Remove COMBOOT.
3. Remove all image types except IMAGE_BZIMAGE and IMAGE_SCRIPT.
4. Remove PXE_STACK, PXE_MENU, and PXE_CMD.
