This is the exact problem ! The modules are stripped. The only doubt that I
still have is in what file I have do put -S option for $(ROMFSINST). I
change all $(ROMFSINST) in uClinux-dist/vendor/Xilinx/uclinux-auto/Makefile
for a $(ROMFSINST) -S and also the uClinux-dist/Makefile for a ROMFSINST=
romfs-inst.sh -S. Then I do a make clean for all dist and make it all but
the modules are still stripped.

My romfs-inst.sh was already patched.


Thanks Lance !

Regards, Josue.
