I don't believe you would save gigabytes of space, possibly not even one. Traffic in the
misc@ archives will say the same.
Culturally, the project
severely frowns upon kernel squeezing & customization
(covered in Section 5.6 of the FAQ...) to the point that the developers will not even talk to anyone filing problem reports using custom kernels.
Unless you are
intimately knowledgeable about kernel internals is this worth the effort. Personally, I wouldn't bother. It goes too far against the project's recommendations, & I have found that the project's dictates are well grounded.
