Eek, well, the warning worked, at least (".bss and .brk lack common
file offset") since that was kind of an assumption in the script I
wanted to make sure we'd catch if it wasn't true.

Can you send your full .config? I built without CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD,
and it didn't fail, so something else must be tickling this...

Sorry for the glitch!
