Ok, here is the full list of packages you selected:

BR2_PACKAGE_GDB_SERVER=y
BR2_PACKAGE_GDB_HOST=y
BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX=y
BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_FULLINSTALL=y
BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_CONFIG="busybox.config"
BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT=y
BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT_STATIC=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBINTL=y
BR2_PACKAGE_PKG_CONFIG=y
BR2_PACKAGE_READLINE=y
BR2_PACKAGE_BOOST=y
BR2_PACKAGE_BOOST_CONFIG_THREADING=y
BR2_PACKAGE_BOOST_DATE_TIME=y
BR2_PACKAGE_BOOST_THREAD=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBICONV=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBNW=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBSNMPPDU=y
BR2_PACKAGE_SPREAD=y
BR2_PACKAGE_SQLITE=y
BR2_PACKAGE_NETSNMP=y
BR2_PACKAGE_NTP=y
BR2_PACKAGE_THTTPD=y
BR2_PACKAGE_VSFTPD=y
BR2_PACKAGE_MTD=y
 [ Lots of MTD stuff ]
BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGD=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBPNG=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGLIB2=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LZO=y
BR2_PACKAGE_ZLIB=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBXML2=y

I think you don't need pkg-config on the target, so disable
BR2_PACKAGE_PKG_CONFIG. This should allow you to disable libglib2
(BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGLIB2), which in turn will allow you to disable gettext
(BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT), libintl (BR2_PACKAGE_LIBINTL), libiconv
(BR2_PACKAGE_LIBICONV).

Of course, this makes the assumption that your own internal
applications do not use libglib2.

Then, for the Boost packages, then don't exist in Buildroot, so we
can't say what dependencies they pull. Could you submit a patch to add
the Boost libraries into Buildroot ?

Finally, for the duplicated C++ library thing, could you put online
your rootfs.tar (after removing your internal applications if they are
sensitive) ?

Sincerly,

Thomas
