thanks for sending this out. Well, unfortunately, I think your patch
is doing something wrong.

As discussed earlier on that thread, we should be using kernel
Makefile to generate the target as much as possible. The linux build
system can generate vmlinux, Image and Image.gz, but not vmlinux.gz.
So we should compress only vmlinux 'outside' of the linux build
system, and for Image.gz we shouldn't do that in OE. In other words,
Image.gz should be included in typeformake. Your patch does not do
that, and that is something which is taken care by mine.
