Subject: Fix ppc32 zImage inflate
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2006 18:07:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1153415243.5649.28.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

ppc32's zImage inflates to address 0 which the recent zlib update took
as an error condition. Remove the check and note the problem so anyone
updating zlib in future won't fall into the same trap.
