What did you compile binutils-2.9.1.0.19a with, and which library did
you link it against? And which kernel are you running it under?
linux/arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.o contains a valid gzip file, but
linux/arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux and linux/arch/arm/boot/zImage do
not, therefore arm-linux-ld is a likely suspect. This is with
binutils-2.9.1.0.19a statically or dynamically linked against
libc 4.6.27, compiled with binutils-2.9.1.0.19a and egcs-2.91.57 19980901
(egcs-1.1 release). I am currently running kernel 2.0.36 patched with
_tmp_145piggy.lnk contains :
SECTIONS { .data : { input_len = .; LONG(input_data_end - input_data) input_data = .;
*(.data) input_data_end = .; }}
and the output of make zImg is :
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.2/testcase-5/arch/arm/boot'
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.2/testcase-5/arch/arm/boot/compressed'
