[poky] Image size explosion

I just rebuilt my image after updating to the latest master and
I observed image explosion (my mimimal image went from 3.9MB to
37MB!)  Looking at what went into the image, I see some packaging
changes.  The package
   libc6
is now a bunch of packages
   eglibc
   eglibc-dev
   eglibc-extra-nss
   libcidn1
   libgcc1
   libgcc-s-dev
   libthread-dbl
   linux-libc-headers-dev
which seem to be responsible for the bloat.

Questions:
* What changed that now brings this in?
* Can I get back to my old, minimal, setup?  This is for a deeply
   embedded device and I don't need/want any development stuff.

Thanks
