Could you look over this patch and perhaps apply it?  In the
grand scheme of things, it is a small issue, but it has been
offering some Debian and Ubuntu users a lot of annoyance.

The problem is that dash's echo and printf do not support \x...
escapes.  The symptom is a build without errors resulting in a
vmlinuz that cannot boot.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: really fix bzImage build with non-bash sh

dash's echo and printf do not support \x... escapes.  The symptom
is a build without errors resulting in a vmlinuz that cannot
boot.

Previous commits replaced "echo -ne" first with "/bin/echo -ne",
then "printf" in the hope of improving portability, but none of
these commands is guaranteed to support hexadecimal escapes on
POSIX systems.  Use arithmetic expansion to convert from
hexadecimal to octal to fix this.

You can see what is happening by examining the end of
arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzma after an x86 build with
CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA enabled and /bin/sh a symlink to dash.
Without this patch, it ends with '\xf0\x7d\x39\x00' (16 bytes)
instead of the 4 bytes intended and the resulting vmlinuz fails
to boot.

With this change, an LZMA-compressed kernel built with dash as sh
boots correctly again.
