Summary

0001598: armeb-linux-uclibc-objcopy convert 2.8MB vmlinuz file into >3000MB Image file

Description

uclibc-0.9.29

It seems to me that it is the same bug as discussed concerning OpenEmbedded. (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded.user/67) [^]
My buildroot config (br.config) and kernel config (kern.config) is attached.

The patch suggested in link above make Image file of good size (<1MB). But I haven't run it yet.

Patch (by Philip Balister <philip <at> balister.org>):
