you will need a rather full blown linux image in any case. for making a
call you need several hardware components (audio, gsm, display, maybe
gps) up and running so you depend on the kernel drivers AND even some
higher level userspace apps anyway. better to optimize the initial
bootup time to a minimum.

my 2 cents ....
