Compile size depends on the options, of course.

The 2.6 kernel has an option CONFIG_SHMEM_TINY which strips out some
features that you wouldn't want on an embedded application.  This might
apply to the original poster.

You can get Linux to run on just about anything.  It just depends on how
much time you'd like to spend on it. =)
