Hi Jean.

The shell script check-dialog.sh is called which again do: echo "main() {}" | gcc -xc - -o /dev/null
And it seems that gcc will trash /dev/null in your setup when doing this. One fix would be to avoid the two lines during distclean, but I may have to resort to a temporary file.
Could you please confirm that the above command is the one that trashes /dev/null, then I will try to cook up something better.
