# 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
