Apparently that does not work with dash either.  It produces \4\3\2\1:

$ tail -c 4 arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzma | hexdump
0000000 0304 0102

That's insane.

How about removing the whole hack and keeping the uncompressed size in
another file?  (I'll try to cook something today - it requires a bit
more changes than the 2-liner above).
