That makes sense. So we need the uncompressed vmlinux under build/ for
the debuginfo? Then wouldn't it be possible to only reach into build/
for the vmlinux file and not traverse it fully also for the modules
(which are under kernel/)?

I admit to never build a kernel from scratch, I always just rebuild my
distros kernel package and install the result. I'll try and do an
"upstream" build and see what happens.
