Mike, Well aware of that, it was my first reference. However what I'm noticing is that the build system does not do what the guide says, specifically that supplying PCI_COMPRESS is having no effect and the ROM is not actually being compressed.
Since no objection to my explanation was found I will file a bug in trac on this.
