Statically linking in libgphobos.a makes every executable at least 600K. For an embedded system with limited storage this can be a problem. Is there a way to set it up to be used as a .so instead?

I believe you'll have to exclude phobos/internal/cmain.d from the library and call the setup routines in phobos/internal/dgccmain2.d manually.  I've never tried it, but that should work in theory.
