Yes, and I need more space for the uncompression to take place when using a=
 ramdisk.

Currently the link address seems to be hard-coded into
arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper
(a shell script). Since long ago I'm wondering why the maintainers did
that. But I guess there is a reason, because it wasn't that way in the
old arch/ppc days ;-) ...

Thanks for that. I'd been using "objcopy --change-addresses" to relocate th=
e elf file with success.

Is configuring the zImage-piggy-back-loader through menuconfig & co evil?

That seems like a good idea. Maybe add some way to figure out if the uncomp=
ressed kernel overlaps the zImage wrapper ?
