           Summary: Updating kernel packages on LAB bootloader machines
                    fails due to symlink
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: Angstrom
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.0
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: koen at dominion.kabel.utwente.nl
         QAContact: tinderbox-oe at gmx.net


The machines in OE that use the LAB bootloader have the following snippet in
their .conf (via an include):

# LAB can only resolve relative symlinks
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "make_zimage_symlink_relative; "

Which is great, but the symlink will become absolute again if the user install
a kernel via the package-manager. 

Proposed solution: put the make_zimage_symlink_relative method in the kernel.bb
