How to strip seemingly unnecessary zeroes generated by gas?

I'm trying to make a truly minimal shared "library" that has the least possible size it can be:

.text

.globl test
test:
        movb $1, %al
        movb $1, %dil
        movabs $message, %rsi
        movb $7, %dl
        syscall
        ret
message:
        .ascii "hello"

compiling with: gcc -o test.so -fPIC -shared -m64 -nostdlib -s -O3 test.s

And the output is still relatively huge: 4.8KB!! When I look into the binary with radare I can see that after the .text section there are LOTS AND LOTS of seemingly unnecessary code caves produced my gas.

     ;-- section_end..rela.dyn:
            ;-- section..text:
            ;-- test:

            0x00000291      0000           add byte [rax], al
            ............ and so on, wasting lots of kilobytes......

What are these for, and how can I get rid of them (If I can/shall)?
