I recompiled binutils-2.9.1.0.19a with gcc-2.7.2.2-1 and binutils-2.7-1a2
(those are names of RPMs), Still no luck [1]. I tried with a hacked [2]
Debian installation, no luck again.
I have discovered that ommiting the -Ttext option from the arm-linux-ld
command line results in vmlinux containing a *valid* gzip file, however
there is still no valid gzip file in zImage.
[1] Even under RMK's 2.0.36 compiled at 20 Thu Jan 21 21:23:26.
[2] I installed a few debs by manually extracting the 2nd gzip'd tar file
from the deb file, as dpkg won't work under kernel 2.0.36.
