access, you'd fall over the edge :) Can you disassemble the code
snippet
(or memcmp()) so we can see what's happening?
Here you go:

The kernel image is actually unstripped. Is there a config option for
that?
I'm sure the compressed kernel image is stripped but includes the
kernel symbol table (see below). The symbol table is definitely good
to have (otherwise you'd have to figure what all the addresses on the
stack mean from a separate symbol table).
Do we want to keep symbols in a non-debug kernel?
Definitely ...
Cheers,
Michael

I do recall recent changes to the mm code, but that was for NOMMU. I
wonder whether there was anything else that would introduce an implicit
assumption about memory starting at 0x0 ...
Sounds like a possible culprit.
