The routerstationpro kernel image is huge

Hi! First of all, I don't know if this is the correct mailing list to write 
this. If it is not, please point me to th right one. Thanks!

I have found that the kernel image for the routerstationpro in poky danny 8.0 
is huge. The flash of the device is just 16MB, so a 86 MB image is more than 
what fits in there ;-)

I would like to solve the problem, but I really don't know where to start.

I have used OpenEmbedded before, but this are my first steps within the yocto 
project.

Any pointer would be much appreciated.

JFTR: the image wasn't stripped.

To strip it:

../../../tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/mips32-poky-linux/mips-poky-linux-
strip  -s -R .comment vmlinux-foo.bin

Kinds regards, Lisandro.

and also for the record, we have this logged in bug 3515, and we'll
make this the default for the build.
