resolved, was due to usage of a (very old version) of a c compiler

> -checkout clean 2.6.24
> -change in Makefile:
> ARCH=arm
> CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- (codesourcery toolchain to
> support armv7 (cortex a8))

> #make uImage
> #ls -la arch/arm/boot
> #ls -la arch/arm/boot/compressed
> -note the size of :
> boot/Image
> boot/zImage
> boot/uImage
> compressed/vmlinux
> compressed/piggy.gz
> compressed/piggy.o

> -now change the .config, for example deactivate FP emulator and

> -save your .config
> #make distclean
