Followup:  Yeah, it looks like it just doesn't know which format of zImage to
produce for linkstation.

I'm not sure what image should be used by default.  I guess it depends on the
bootloader.  Maybe default to uImage, as uBoot seems to be fairly common on
these devices?

Yes, uImage is the format used on linkstation. Is there a way to cleanly specify this in the kernel sources apart from a comment in Kconfig?

Yep. Kconfig just needs to select DEFAULT_UIMAGE, and then the system tries to build a uImage.

Once I tracked down and installed a "mkimage" command (dependency needed by the WRAP line), my "make zImage" succeeded. So, I hope you guys apply this.
