Summary:                    kernel symlinks broken
Description: 
This bug is present in current trunk versions of buildroot. 
I am at revision 21311 in subversion.

I am building a fairly plain i686 system.  The kernel builds nicely after
applying my workaround for bug 0002504, but it doesn't install well under
binaries. A symlink is installed pointing to a nonexisting file. This
symlink also breaks previous naming conventions as it doesn't add the .bz
suffix for a bzImage kernel.

At least 3 things are wrong.
1) The binaries directory should contain physical copies not symlinks.
2) The right kernel file must be copied to the binaries/$PROJECTNAME
3) Changing naming strategy shouldn't be done unless strictly necessary,
some of us have installation scripts that stops working
