# create a compressed vmlinux image from the original vmlinux

#

# vmlinuz is:

#	decompression code (*.o)

#	asm globals (piggy.S), including:

#		vmlinux.bin.(gz|bz2|lzma|...)

#

# vmlinux.bin is:

#	vmlinux stripped of debugging and comments

# vmlinux.bin.all is:

#	vmlinux.bin + vmlinux.relocs

# vmlinux.bin.(gz|bz2|lzma|...) is:

#	(see scripts/Makefile.lib size_append)

#	compressed vmlinux.bin.all + u32 size of vmlinux.bin.all
