Partition size (beyond 4G) is not really significant.  The image needs
to be created from original sources, so the important part is to get
things working, then we can figure out how to merge any required
changes into the image build scripts (and the ~4GB images they use
when building from scratch).

I always add 1-2 GB of swap (depending on the uSD size), but it's
probably not a huge issue in your case.  Cross compiling is nice, but
likely more trouble than it's worth unless you already have something
setup.
