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).
