commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=96c26ce86322de1985138958af7a7d14d825afb8 branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master arm64 / riscv supports building a gzip compressed 'Image' format kernel, which is sometimes useful. From arch/arm64/Makefile: all: Image.gz Image: vmlinux $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=$(boot) $(boot)/$@ Image.%: Image $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=$(boot) $(boot)/$@ (and similar logic for riscv) Future architectures may or may not copy this logic, so for robustness add an explicit Image.gz format rather than copying both Image and Image.gz when the Image format is used.
