Img is not to be compilied - it is real image of file system to be
loaded at startup.

You should create a file system (for instance, on floppy), populate it
with neccessary files (i.e. kernel modules) and then use dd to copy it
to file.

Alternatively, you may create empty file using 
dd if=/dev/zero of=myimg.img count=2880 bs=512
(to be same as 1.44 flopy)
then run mkfs on it (minix filesystem is preferrable becouse it have
less overhead than ext2), then mount it with -o loop option
and populate with files.

You'll need loopback device support in you kernel.

Refer to /usr/src/linux/Documentation/initrd.txt for more inforamtion.
