If your interested in building your distro from source, might I suggest Gentoo? It's already set up to do that and has a very robust package management system. Although if we're seeking hardware compatability then we have to compile with the most compatible flags for differing processors and capabilities so it may not be worth it. Gentoo does make it extremely easy to build a very lean system though. Pretty slick that you're writing your own package manager though.
