well, depends on _what_ you install and _what_ you
actually need, complete kernel and userspace to
get the Linux-VServer isolation working should be
doable without any libraries and external tools,
just with something like vcmd, but if you want the
full userspace stuff, including legacy and guest
building (which I consider extreme for a phone)
you'll have to provide a bunch of tools and libs
too ...
best,
