After open MKLIBS_OPTIMIZED_IMAGES ?= "core-image-minimal" in 
local.conf, the minimal image decrease from 3.4M to 3.1M, after 
extraction is 8.1M( vs. 8.4M before using mklibs). It looks like not so 
efficient as we expected.

Should I try to reduce busybox size at same time?Such as remove some not 
so usually used commands by configurations?

Any suggestion or guild will be appreciate!

Thanks and Regards,
Kai
