It think it is because my kernels have CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO turned on.
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
884K ../build-sbc-gx533/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
20M ../build-sbc-gx533/vmlinux
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=n
884K ../build-sbc-gx533/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
2.2M ../build-sbc-gx533/vmlinux
I don't know how useful all that extra debug info is but it sounds like
the sort of stuff which ought to be in a debug image...
Anyway, I'm not too fussed, just thought it was worth mentioning.
