This depends on your application, and which functions you  need  from
the kernel.

Minimum for a running system with very small application:
	1MB flash, 4 MB RAM.
Medium configuration as used in many shipping products like ISDN
routers, Bluetooth Lan Access Points, etc.:
	2 MB flash, 8 MB RAM
Comfortable system for development (sufficient to compile the Linux
kernel native on the target):
	4 MB flash, 16 MB RAM

Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by  at  least
one instruction - from which, by induction, one can deduce that every
program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.
