You might consider packaging and installing with something like opkg.

I use archlinux (which is now available on certain arm architectures) for this 
configuration (--prefix=/usr) the package list is attached below.

How much of this you install on your embedded system will depend on what 
functionality you expect the system to have. For instance you almost certainly 
don't need the man pages.

There's also a pretty good tutorial on building packages into the buildroot image:
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html#autotools-tutorial
that, or opkg or pacman, might be a better long term solution.

Good Luck!
