We currently presume a 4x expansion to guess the decompressed kernel size in order to determine if the decompressed kernel is in conflict with the location where zImage is loaded. This guess may cause many issues by overestimating the final kernel image size: - This may force a needless relocation if the location of zImage was fine, wasting some precious microseconds of boot time. - The relocation may be located way too far, possibly overwriting the initrd image in RAM. - If the kernel image includes a large already-compressed initramfs image then the problem is even more exacerbated. And if by some strange means the 4x guess is too low then we may overwrite ourselves with the decompressed image. So let's use the exact decompressed kernel image size instead. For that we need to rely on the stat command, but this is hardly a new build dependency as the kernel already depends on many external commands to be built provided by the coreutils package where stat is found.
