Sorry for not stating clearly. The image I refered to is the image made from vmlinux.gz by the mkimage tool.
You mentioned that "'make zImage' fails at the last step (building a zvmlinux)" which has nothing to do with PPCBoot.
Please try to specify your problem again, more clearly, with all details like the commands you enter and the error messages that are printed.
Best regards,

After 'make zImage', here comes the error message.
ppc_8xx-ld -T ../ld.script -Ttext 0x00180000 -Bstatic -o zvmlinux head.o ../common/relocate.o misc-embedded.o ../common/misc-common.o ../common/string.o ../common/util.o embed_config.o m8xx_tty.o image.o ../lib/zlib.a misc-embedded.o: In function `decompress_kernel':
misc-embedded.o(.text+0x28): undefined reference to `embed_config' make[2]: *** [zvmlinux] Error 1
The comments on embed_config.c say that functions in that file are for those embedded 8xx boards that do not have boot monitor support for board information. The embed_config() just sets some values of bd_t. Since I already have ppcboot running, I think I don't need any embed_config stuff, or even boot stuff. Right?
Thank you very much.

zImage is not the correct build target if you intend to use U-Boot / PPCBoot. Try "make pImage" instead.

This is not appropriate for use with U-Boot / PPCBoot.
