Why is my vmlinux.strip 3.2GB? Could a missing address be interpreted
as -1 (0xFFF..) and cause the image to contain all of memory?

-rwxr-xr-x 1 jonsmirl jonsmirl 3224175192 2008-06-10 10:31 vmlinux.strip.3651
After it is packed vmlinux is 32MB. Packing gigabytes of zeros, maybe?

This image won't load onto the Efika probably because it is trying to
expand back to 3.2GB.
With the same .config vmlinux is 4.1MB on 2.6.25
