Subject: [Buildroot] error building kernel with initramfs

Hi,

if you select gzip compression for the rootfs.cpio file
(BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO_GZIP), then the rebuild of the kernel with
initramfs is going to fail:

>>>   Generating root filesystem image rootfs.cpio

I guess the fix for this is to change fs/initramfs/Config.in to select
BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO_NONE, right ?
