I also am working on embedded platform with 8MB of flash memory.
When I compile my FLTK + nanoX + nxlib My program is about 1.2 MB
statically linked.
Then there is about 2 MB of Linux stuff and fonts.
The FLTK program generates about 30,000 lines of C++ code, not including
include files, nanoX nor nxlib.
I only use C++ for graphical UI, everything else is in C.
The program has Ethernet, USB, VGA, and printer support and runs RTAI
real-time Linux extensions.
My total Flash memory image is about 5MB, but then I have 256 MB of DDR
RAM for running everything including RAM disk. No mechanical disks
anywhere.
If you do not go overboard on C++ features, the programs are not much
bigger than C.

I forgot to highlight that I am targetting an embedded application and
avoid to use C++ could be usefull in order to reduce both static and
dinamic memory footprint.
I just run the FTLK hello_word example... and I got a 164K stripped
executable on my i686 X11 linux workstation (not within nanoX! do I have
to expect very different results?).
I hope a C based approach will save memory!
Ciao!
