I'm thinking that this is a problem with the compiler or binutils.  My kernels
are OK, and if I send my kernel to someone with this problem, they have no
problems with my zImage.

I take care of the patches - patching a kernel is not a one-way affair -
so long as you have the original patch around, it's easy to remove it.
conditionals would just make a mess of everything and make it unreadable.
