Thanks for giving this a shot Sau. Could you be more specific regarding
the failure you are seeing?

This was tested rather exhaustively on an x86_64->x86_64 configuration
prior to the latest changes to the above line. I have only tested this
using the bzImage kernel type. I did feel that I had tested the above
line as well, but it's possible I had something cached somewhere. I'll
kick off a clean build and see if anything surfaces.
