    try thsese setting on System Library Property

    check:

    Program never exits

    Reduced device drivers

    Small C library

    uncheck:

    Support C++

    Clean exit

    also smaller Max file descriptors like 32 -> 4 or so.

    have you tried that?

    Don't ask the same question multiple times please.

    Try to turn on the compiler "optimize for size" option (-Os)
