You could probably use the one that decides whether the uClinux MTD map
driver is included.  While not exactly a guarantee one way or the other,
it's likely that if it's included then the FS image is appended to the
kernel image, since that's the point of the driver in the first place :)

(I can't give the exact name since I don't have uClinux code handy right
now.  Shouldn't be hard to find though.)
