I'm not cross compiling. I'm compiling the packages on i686 arch for

The C3 is i586 not i686. Compile for i686 and it will crash. I built a
system booting from CF on an Epia board and I used a variation on this

The CPU on the boards is VIA Mark CoreFusion™ CPU with 533 MHz core.
That is a CPU (I think that is VIA C3 Nemiah which is newer than the C3)
with integrated southbridge. I've been running i686 Fedora Core on it
(By i686 I mean i686 kernel and few applications compiled by hand for
i686 arch).
I've use to have one or two VIA EPIA boards which could run only i586
software.
Using a compressed filesystem lets you fit far more on the card, I had a
MythTV frontend in less than 256MB. This Wiki page may be worth a look

You can reduce the size of packages by adding nodoc, noman and noinfo to
FEATURES.
I'll definitely give it a look but I had bad experience with compressed
file systems in the past. I've tried using Slax or any live cd distro
for that matter. There are two variations of the board I'm using. One
with 128 MB RAM and one with 256 MB RAM. The second one has no problem
whatsoever with running compressed filesystems. But the first one is a
living nightmare if you try using compressed filesystem. The CPU is slow
and in combination with small amount of RAM it's a real killer.
