Salut René, You may want to tke a look at Tiny X which is a small stripped down version of X. I throw this just like that since I'm not sure what your goal is... is it to get the smallest size possible regardless of compatibility, or if keeping things running as normal important. From my own experiences with uClibc, you often have to do compromises. If everything would compile ok with uClibc, I'm sure pretty much everything would be built using it. It does compile smaller binaries and there is a cost to that.
Goog luck and keep us informed of your progresses. I always like things that squeezes the most out of ressources.
