 If you want them as small as possible, you should _not_ link them statically...

 However, I guess the real problem is that you don't have access to the cross-compilation shared libraries and headers for your tablet.  In that case linking statically is indeed a good solution.  Follow Grant's suggestion to use crosstool-NG.  Keep in mind though that for quite a few existing packages, linking statically doesn't work well (GStreamer and it's dependents, for instance).
