Have you ever built own linux kernel, etc. before? Some good resources if not are LFS or buildroot pages. My goal here is to have as small a system to fit on flashdrive as possible, and absolutely positively NO RUST - just musl libc.

I haven't built my own kernel yet. I don't know how and can't find any good resources. I do know C and C++, and have been coding since 2013. I build some bash scripts. But have none of the kernel knowledge.

This is great if you want to get started kernel hacking: https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ - the tl;dr here is if you can build a busybox + whatever kernel tree suits you, you can have a functioning system.
