Most likely, it's just zImage that has been renamed. On x86, the kernel
generates 'bzImage', and distributions typically rename it to
vmlinuz-<version> when the kernel image is installed in /boot.
If you want a vmlinuz on ARM:
cp /path/to/linux/build/dir/arch/arm/boot/zImage /boot/vmlinuz-<version>
Best regards,
Thomas
