Thanks a lot for figuring this out, Maxime! The idea to use -Os is much 
nicer than what I was going for: padding a working kernel with 0s at the 
end!

I unfortunately did not try to reproduce your success with u-boot, but 
I'll get to it in the near future.

Thanks again to everyone involved for all the help and support!
