I think x86_64 is relocatable by default, as on RHEL5 x86_64 we only have one vmlinuz for both production kernel and kdump kernel.
I don't know the history, probably x86_64 supports relocatable from the beginning, thus there is no such Kconfig on RHEL5.

So, probably this is the cause of the problem.
