For my boards, I have about a 5 MB RAM disk, at least half of which is libraries, much of which I know is library routines which my embedded system never calls. If I were tight on space, here is where I would trim.
I don't know if you're doing PowerPC or some other processor, but nonetheless you might check out
http://penguinppc.org/embedded/howto/PowerPC-Embedded-HOWTO.html
and especially section 12:
http://penguinppc.org/embedded/howto/library.html
for some pointers to small C libraries.

Hi, I am porting Linux to an embedded system. Currently my rootfilesystem is around 2.5 MB (after keeping it to minimal and adding tools like busybox). I want to furthur reduce it to say maximum of 1.5 MB. Please suggest some link/references where I can find the details to optimise my root filesystem
thanks Amol
