[Buildroot] Buildroot Issue with a uImage build

[Morrison, Tom]

I was pointed to a patch that Peter K. had added a default config. For the Boundary Devices
Nitrogen/Sabre-Lite boards(I.MX6 processor).
 
   http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=913b916567231aedb34c4a616519f607eb90e616

When I built this - the associated Kernel uImage was HUGE (60Meg)?

I have a brand new Fedora 17 system with everything updated...

Any / all suggestions would be appreciated...

  Something funny going on there...  I built the current master with the
nitrogen6x_defconfig and the uImage is only 3.7M.

  Maybe check the linux config, did it accidentally turn into an allyesconfig?

Or, maybe you have enabled an initramfs, and have enabled a number of
packages. Could you please put your Buildroot .config file and
kernel .config file on some pastebin site and post the URLs here?

Thanks,

Thomas
