Furby 1998 Source Code
Some small size Linux-like OSes do exist though: one commenter suggested Lunix (which I didn't know, thanks for the link), and a slightly bigger one is ELKS which runs on old MMU-less x86 CPUs. I managed to run it on a 8088 industrial PC ages ago.

I should have a Furby buried somewhere; now that I think of it, it may be the right platform to stick a bigger brain into, make it wireless so that it could be connected to the home IoT network then signal events or alerts.

If you thought running Linux on a 3DS or PS2 wasn't crazy enough, here's Linux on a Nintendo DS Lite
Yeah, that's why in some other comment thread I brought up ELKS though it appears to be IA16-only while the gameboy advance is a 32-bit ARM so... not sure.

8088 PC XT Compatible Logic Board
https://github.com/jbruchon/elks
ELKS is a nice Linux subset with a complete toolchain (gcc-ia16) designed for the 8088 (no protected memory and only a stub of an MMU). It's also actively maintained, comes with a dockerfile for fast, reproducible builds, and has plenty of activity.
Best to test it on actual hardware instead of QEMU, it's much more rewarding.

Suckless kernels?
Ah I missed your comment regarding the processor. Then, ELKS and Fuzix may be a nice candidate.

Why use old computers and operating systems?
Years ago I successfully run Debian + LXDE desktop on one of those toy Win-CE Chinese laptops with just 128MB RAM. CPU was a WM8505 clocked at a whopping 300MHz. And then there's ELKS Linux which would work on 8086 CPUs too which I successfully run on a industrial PC many moons ago. https://github.com/jbruchon/elks
Extremely small systems aside, it can run fine on decently equipped laptops or netbooks. Surfing the web with a full featured browser such as Firefox or using heavy apps such as LibreOffice without having the system swap too much would likely require no less than 2 Gigs or more, but if you do network maintenance using command line tools, even the smallest netbook with half a Gig RAM becomes an useful tool to keep in the bag along with bigger laptops.
