Yep...  But the same build produces both images (the vmlinux and the bzImage) 
anyhow, so you don't actually have to build the core kernel twice or anything 
like that.  It's just a bit annoying having to manage two different types of 
image files - the work underway is to make a bzImage that is native bootable 
and loadable by the Xen domain builder.
