Then I believe you are a bit on your own to make sure the resulting
pieces work together, which could include applying local patches to
gnulib-tool.

I tend to prefer ease of maintenance over optimizing code size for
non-modern and/or non-GNU systems.  The amount of system-replacing
gnulib object code pulled in shouldn't be too large even on older GNU
systems.  Did you try to measure the bloat size?  Which modules with
object code do you need in every sub-module?
