Hi, I know I'm some days late with this but
you can also take a look at ttylinux kernel for
beaglebone. The kernel is small but larger than
his; it is in the ttylinux-beagle_bone-2014.10.tar.bz2
file:
http://ttylinux.net/dloadBBN.html

    Hi Maxim, I'm no expert in kernel build, just sharing my own
    experience.

        Hi!

        I need to compile a minimal kernel v3.8 for BBB. With
        instructions from RCN the kernel builds with the final size of
        5.5M for zImage and 32M for modules. I need to reduce this size
        but yet don't want to lose any capes support.

    I'm currently using buildroot, and (almost) default beaglebone
    configuration. The result is a kernel image has 3.5 Mb, and about
    0.5 Mb for modules. So it's possible. But, no cape manager support.

    ​

        ​
        Can any

        body
        ​​
        suggest how to reduce it? Looking into defconfig drives me crazy
        because it seems that anything could be
        ​​
        ​​
        enabled
        ​​
        was
        ​​
        enabled statically or dynamically.

    I'd say, try to check the biggest folders at modules, and start
    checking if you really need that module(s) on your system.
    For example, I just check some tests that I've made with RCN kernel
    (using default configuration), the result is about 103 Mb of
    modules. 14Mb of those, are at the 'fs', in this case I won't use
    anything but ext2/4, so disable it. And so on. First check the "big
    villains".
