Depending on the environment, this is probably a useless waste of CPU
cycles, memory, and precious storage space :). As other suggested, you may
want to look at Busybox.

If the system has a MMU, NetBSD is also a good option. It can fit in low
memory environments, and can easily be cross-compiled on any architecture
you prefer. The miniroot build infrastructure bits show how one could
build a small system. Of course, you could also use precompiled binary
sets plus pax and mtree.
