If it's an embedded solution you'd want to optimise for the particular
hardware. Namely - compiler optimisations, slimmed down kernel, small drivers,
static linking, LTO etc. 

Sounds like you're aiming at embedded while doing things like a normal distro
(barring that those actually ship all the drivers in one package).

Sounds like Yocto is broken (like many distros were). Lookup on cp's
--preserve= options.

I fear I dealt more than enough off-topic. If you're interested in more poke me
privately or via the mesa-dev mailing list.
