It was suggested in #ltsp to try Debian's patches against mkelfimage.  I 
was unable to get it to build with Debian's patches, however I did try 
the /usr/sbin/mkelfImage binary unpacked from Debian's 
mkelfimage_2.7-5_i386.deb.  It gets stuck at the same point as Fedora's 
mkelfImage build:

checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (bad gzip magic numbers);
looks like an initrd

So it is likely that the problem is unique to Fedora's kernel.  Perhaps 
our new 2.6.25-based kernel or gcc-4.3 used to build it.
