I have seen uCLinux running on the Purple board (MIPS 5Kc CPU core). If you have a MMU on your chip you should always go for the "real" Linux. Reducing the memory footprint is not so much a kernel issue but one of the application level - using standard tools linked against glibc vs. busybox with uClibc for example.
