[PATCH] default to building compressed

[PATCH] default to building compressed

[Matthew Wilcox]

i386 defaults to building `bzImage' (as well as modules) if you just type
`make'.  This patch mirrors that on ia64 by building `compressed'.

Comments?

Why not kill this 'compressed' indirection.
If people want to build vmlinux.gz, then let people specify that.
Much less confusing.

The build should also write out the full path to the location of the
kernel - no reason for people to guess the directory.

Sorry - no patch this time :-(
