Yes, but you can run into trouble if you pare back too much. If you take out a perfectly useless looking ld-linux.so, _Absolutely_Nothing_ will run.

Some distro's offer a minimal install. What distro are you using? The linuxfromscratch book is a start - all is there, and comments on what is needed. Kevux is pretty minimal
