The target host has no "make" etc. binaries; it just won't run without a lot of effort.
OK, after you detailed what the target host is, I think it all makes sense (including the need for a small footprint ;) It would be nice and interesting if you share your achievements (if you can) in the FAQ about the platform hints <http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/9.html>.
Yeah why not.
Once I get it "up and running", I can write some more info on the subject.
