Done, new C init is about 3kb, and once klibc sh, mkdir, and mknod are removed and a kernel with modular ext2 used, and all the syslinux help screens dropped, it fits. Barely. Less than 1k free.. :-/ A few things can still be done to reduce size. Embedding mount, umount, cat, gunzip, and cpio code in the init binary and statically linking it to klibc would probably save 30 kb or so. (This would also allow upxing init.) -- see shy jo
