Small footprint on Embedded system

- Subject: Small footprint on Embedded system
I am trying to get a small (<100K) java application to
run on an embedded system that has stringent memory
constraints. I was told to use gcj to convert java to
native code. My initial work was to test the
conversion on a Linux RedHat system. I was able to
get it to work, but it required copying several shared
library files (.so) to the system. These files vastly
exceeded the total memory available on the embedded
system I am porting to.
My question is, what the @#$% is my question? Oh
yeah, am I leaving out some build step that requires
the copying of the .so files? Is there a way to
recompile gcc/gcj to greatly reduce the size of the
.so files? Is it reasonable to expect to be able to
implement a java app, using gcj on a system that only
has a few megs of memory for all the required
components.
Thanks,
Pete
