I'm building a LiveCD using a Debian debootstrap and linux-live scripts[0]. One of the steps involve calling depmod over some gzipped modules, and when compiled without zlib support, depmod complains about the files, and doesn't create a valid modules.dep: WARNING: Module /tmp//lib/modules/2.6.12.4/kernel/squashfs.ko.gz is not an elf object WARNING: Module /tmp//lib/modules/2.6.12.4/kernel/unionfs.ko.gz is not an elf object But, when I use my own zlib enabled depmod, modules.dep shows the right lines: /lib/modules/2.6.12.4/kernel/unionfs.ko.gz: /lib/modules/2.6.12.4/kernel/squashfs.ko.gz: AFAIK, zlib enabled tools can handle uncompressed modules and it seems there's no other drawback than an added dependency.
