Using Buildroot for uClibc to build a tiny SSH- and VNC-capable DomU distro
is a fantastic idea.

It'd be nice to have a standard base filesystem with these components (that's a hint to anyone with time on their hands!).
Made for a slightly different purpose, but useful as a starting point. The following script builds (from scratch) a busybox-based domU with qemu (VNC enabled, no SDL).

You can get pretty far (it turns out) with just building things statically against glibc.

You have to face a Holy God on Judgment Day. He sees lust as adultery
(Matt. 5:28) and hatred as murder (1 John 3:15). Will you be guilty?

Jesus took your punishment on the cross, and rose again defeating death, to
save you from Hell. Repent (Luke 13:5) and trust in Him today.
