Yup, I did that too, for a while.

That's what I ended up doing.  vmlinux.lds.s is empty, and the real linker
script is uml.lds.s which pulls vmlinux in with main.o and produces the final
binary.

I'm releasing the 2.5.39 patch today, so just update your changes to that
and resend them.  The build is fine, so it should just be whatever ubd changes
I haven't merged yet.
