If you want a small logger, can't you just build busybox with only syslogd?

/tmp/busybox-1.18.5$ ./busybox
BusyBox v1.18.5 (2011-06-22 00:41:45 CEST) multi-call binary.
Copyright (C) 1998-2009 Erik Andersen, Rob Landley, Denys Vlasenko

See source distribution for full notice.

Usage: busybox [function] [arguments]...
   or: busybox --list[-full]
   or: function [arguments]...

        BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
        utilities into a single executable.  Most people will create a
        link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
        will act like whatever it was invoked as.

Currently defined functions:
        klogd, logger, logread, syslogd

size: 29k stripped with make allnoconfig and the above enabled.
