Add to your crossbuild command line "srcconf=/some/path/src.conf" and in
that src.conf file put a bunch of WITHOUT_foo commands to eliminate the
things you don't need in the target system.  Iirc, you need a fully-
qualified pathname in the srcconf=.

"man src.conf" gives you the list of WITH/WITHOUT controls you can set.

Be sure to keep your crossbuild src.conf file(s) separate from your
main /etc/src.conf file that's used when you build the host system.
