It does nothing.  If you then proceed to do a build, many minutes later
you get evidence you haven't built the support binaries:

Checksum tree tarball...
 * Running part postimage sd_card_image postimage.50.makezd.sh...
Making ZD image for os1003...
/sdb/src/olpc-os-builder/modules/sd_card_image/postimage.50.makezd.sh: line 23: /sdb/src/olpc-os-builder/bin/zhashfs: No such file or directory
 * Caught error, cleanup and then bail out.
 * Running part cleanup base cleanup.50.cleanup.sh...
 * Running part cleanup buildnr_from_file cleanup.50.write_buildnr.sh...
ERROR: Failure in PostImageStage: module sd_card_image, part postimage.50.makezd.sh, error code 1

The workaround is to do "make install", and then ignore the installed files.
