image.bin = linux.bin + romfs.img   ;)

seriously, when uclinux mtd map is enabled and kernel find romfs magic
number at the end of kernel image, kernel moves attached romfs to end
of bss section. (romfs.img is concatnated to kernel overwraping bss
section; see linux.ld and vendor/*/Makefile for more detail)
