The whole business using shell scripts to append the size seems broken.
How about moving this functionality to mkpiggy where we are
less shell script dependent.

Something like the following.
I have only tested it lightly (vmlinux.bin did not differ
before/after the patch.

It includes the length also in the gzip case - I dunno if that matters.
Also I dunno if ".long" is the same on 32 and 64 bit.
