Nice! Do you have a web page descibing the system and how to reproduce
it? I'm trying to avoid uClibc. I've had too many annoyances with it. I
want something that is as "standard" as possible so I have the highest
chance of being able to do "./configure; make; make install" with just
about anything I grab. (Lazy fellow here...)

Absolutely. In the end it's pretty simple, mainly use -Os for
compilation, disable national language system (--disable-nls), remove
time zones, and strip binaries aggressively.
I was also hoping to be able to install the final gcc shtuff into
/gcc/... instead of /usr/... so I could easily create a gcc-less image
and rsync the gcc install on top when needed, but I got too confused by
all the cross-compile paths and couldn't get it to work.
I've been working on a "mini" LFS-based system for a couple of years now.
At the minute its based on HLFS-uClibc and currently its 160Mb in size and
that's with MythTV, MySQL, QT, X.Org, Samba, etc.
I haven't tried using "-Os" so far but the other things you've mentioned I
already do.
I've had the dist smaller but that was before I added MythTV and all the
bits its depends on.
