Sorry for the late reply, I was out on holiday.
It seems queer to me to pass BOOTIMAGE to install.sh just so we can
copy vmlinux to BOOTIMAGE. In the case of BOOTIMAGE=zImage, we get
vmlinux copied to a file named zImage -- very queer.
I guess what I want is for this to work when I build on my PC:
$ make INSTALL_PATH=/target/g5/boot install
And I get the proper image file zImage.vmode in
/target/g5/boot/zImage.vmode, not vmlinux named
/target/g5/boot/zImage.vmode.
