Do you mean here?

    # kernel image names by architecture
    IMAGE_i386    = arch/x86/boot/bzImage
    IMAGE_x86     = arch/x86/boot/bzImage
    IMAGE_arm64   = arch/arm64/boot/Image
    IMAGE_arm     = arch/arm/boot/zImage
    IMAGE_mips    = vmlinuz
    IMAGE_riscv   = arch/riscv/boot/Image
    IMAGE         = $(IMAGE_$(ARCH))
    IMAGE_NAME    = $(notdir $(IMAGE))

It does save another KERNEL_IMAGE macro in my future patch ;-)

But without O=, OUTPUT is also empty like objtree and when empty, it is
assigned as $(CURDIR), not $(srctree) as we expected for IMAGE and .config. To
be cleaner, objtree should also be used:

    - IMAGE         = $(IMAGE_$(ARCH))
    + IMAGE         = $(objtree)/$(IMAGE_$(ARCH))

Is this what you want?

Thanks!
