Hi, I did find on this question that you can search through vmlinux-kernel.ver
strings vmlinux-kernel.ver | grep gcc and get the string that is used to fill the /proc/version file. Howver, as to uncompressing vmlinuz-kernel.ver, I had no success. bzip2, uncompress, gzip all complained about invalid formats.
