Given that you're not talking about microscopic amounts of memory (pretty
sure my first PHP production server was 256MB) I'm not sure how hard you
should work on this.

Simply compiling PHP with most of the --without-xxx flags should get you a
relatively small binary, no? And very few shared library dependencies.

I'm only guessing, but that seems like an easy place to start.
