Btw, can you just make that 'vmlinux' image (not the compressed one,
the actual final object file that I could do "objdump" on) available
somewhere, or just send me the .config file to try to reproduce it
closely enough to see what the 0x1748 offset might be.

As mentioned, those offsets change (often wildly) depending on config
options, and I don't think I've seen the .config file you have (or if
I've seen it, I've misplaced it).
