mkvmlinuz is a nice little kernel-derived tool by Jens and me, which allows one to create a zImage.chrp, or zImage.coff or whatever, from the arch/ppc/boot/* stuff and the plain vmlinux kernel. It avoids having to chip the same kernel X times as we did on 2.4 kernels, and can be used as a kernel-package postinst hook to automate this process. > > from being added there too, not sure.

IF you can add it to powerpc-tools, then nice. I think that maybe mkvmlinuz would be also a candidate to be part of the powerpc-tools, not sure though. Friendly, Sven Luther
