uClibc is by no means minimal, even though it's smaller than glibc. In my opinion a minimal system has all libraries in source code form and statically links and compiles them with the programme's source code (much like templates in C++). You can do a lot of optimisations using this approach (constant propagation and dead code elimination, inlining etc.), the programmes can be sequentially read from disk and will be much smaller.
