I've built it with allnoconfig+menuconfig, set "httpd" and all these features
were seIected automatically, so they were present in 34K binary too. Looks
like the binary size is affected by other default options.

Yep, looks like there is no way to select configuration
non-interactively. The "menu randconfig" is somehow able to click
different options, so I guess it is just a matter of patching the build
system to support "make enable httpd". Not sure if it is C, shell or
make code that does the config management.
