RedHat systems have only two statically linked binaries in their systems
and it is one of the things that I viscerally hate about RedHat. You have
to look on another system or lookup on the net which shell to use instead
of /sbin/init and then play around with a massively minimal set of things

I'm open to patches for buildin

I just link bin and sbin dynamically when I want to make a small
image. Works great, no hacks needed so long as / and /usr are the
same partition, which they are on the CF's I make. A minimally
bootable FreeBSD system is on the order of 6MB uncompressed.

man crunchgen.

The same approach is used in creating sysinstall related binaries or
in PicoBSD. The utility is called crunchgen(1).
The examples section even features ways to do exactly that with /sbin.

My spouse had the problem of creating a bootable copy of A/UX on a
single floppy. She decided to write a "doitall" program that had
functionality from a number of small commands. This amortized the
overhead a great deal.
A similar approach could be used for /(s)bin: lump several programs

The possibility of dynamically linking /(s)bin seems
to recur pretty regularly. As libc continues to grow,
this idea seems worth revisiting. However, I've come up
with an alternative that might be worth considering.
For concreteness, consider /bin/mv, whose 400k (!!)
breaks down approximately as
