My search continues for a Linux that will run on my 386SX 25MHz with 8MB RAM. So far I’ve only been able to use ELKS, which technically isn’t a Linux.

http://delicate-linux.net/ This. add 8-16MB of RAM and you will happily run X.
in theory, 2.4-vintage mainline kernel should be buildable for your system. try it
I should've been more clear. Sure, I started my Linux days on 2.0.36, which booted by floppy, on a Pentium 2. But what I want is some semblance of a distro, with tools and a way to do things, not just rolling my own technically-bootable kernel.
debian, a few releases back
or busybox (surprisingly useful)
