That may be shrunk more with attention to the RTEMS
configuration and what services you use. The ticker test
has 3 tasks, uses printf (often 20-30K baggage itself),
etc.. Did that size have itron and/or POSIX enabled?
When trimming stuff you have to be careful what you call.
There have been fielded applications with multiple
tasks in as little as 96K total memory on a m68k.
That's as small as anyone has ever told me about.
