I can see a reference to "/boot/bzImage" in both buildhistory and tmp-glibc/work/.../pkgdata [1] after running a clean rebuild of virtual/kernel [2].

[1] file paths:

"tmp-glibc/work/qemux86-oe-linux/linux-yocto/4.12.12+gitAUTOINC+eda4d18ce4_16de014967-r0/pkgdata/runtime/kernel-image-bzimage"

[2] clean rebuild command:
 bitbake -c cleanall virtual/kernel
 bitbake virtual/kernel

Which file are you diffing? Could you share the full path?

If I build a qemux86 virtual/kernel without and with this patch and then run buildhistory-diff:

packages/qemux86-poky-linux/linux-yocto/kernel-image-bzimage: FILELIST: removed "/boot/bzImage"
packages/qemux86-poky-linux/linux-yocto/kernel-image-bzimage: PKGSIZE changed from 7020062 to 7020032 (0%)

kernel-image-bzimage contains /boot/bzImage-4.12.16-yocto-standard but not the /boot/bzImage symlink:

$ cat buildhistory/packages/qemux86-poky-linux/linux-yocto/kernel-image-bzimage/files-in-package.txt
drwxr-xr-x root       root               60 ./boot
