I see this advised an awful lot, but I've never understood why people
insist on re-building dependencies and recompiling the kernel from scratch
when making a trivial change like zImage -> bzImage. As far as I know,
the only difference is in the compression algorithm used to construct
the compressed boot image -- which occurs at the very end of the 'make'
process, *after* everything's been compiled. You should be able to
simply issue "make bzImage" to compress the existing, compiled kernel
image (vmlinuz).
Am I missing something?
