You can always build your minimal buildroot and install that to flash
as usual, then build another buildroot with all the extras, and move
the pieces you need to CF and run from there.  All the binaries and
libs built during a build of the buildroot (too many builds in that
last statement) are in the /build_arm_nofpu/root folder.  You can just
pick and choose from there, and move them to CF.  You have to make
sure your apps can find any libs, but a script that sets
LD_CONFIG_PATH prior to running your apps should work.
