[Buildroot] Re : kernel cross compilation problem (at91sam9260)

[grego rigolo]

hello,
During the linux kernel compilation, i noticed that the file named "Image" had a different size.
Indeed
when i built the kernel with my old buildroot uclibc toolchain, i got
an Image file of about 2.5Mb while with my new configuration, i got an
Image file of 3Gb  !!!!!
Image file is generated from the vmlinux file with the following command:
-----> arm-linux-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S  vmlinux arch/arm/boot/Image
In both cases, the size of my vmlinux file is similar.
I also noticed in my new "vmlinux.o" file that a new section had been created: .ARM.attributes respect to the old vmlinux.o

Is 
it 
possible 
that 
a 
boot 
logo 
was 
perhaps 
added?  
That 
does 
add 
a 
significant 
amount 
of 
size 
to 
the
kernel.
