There's an open PR (from me) for this.  Somebody suspected "strip" to
be the offender, but it seems that there are more bugs.

By now, you're apparantly not able to boot a stripped kernel at all.
You have to boot it unstripped, which leads to a ~ 7 MB kernel causing
a 16 MB machine being not able to boot multi-user (due to insufficient
memory).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
