    SubjectRe: Linux 2.6.16-rc1
    Hi Jean.

    > I just tried this on a freshly unpacked and configured (but not
    > compiled) 2.6.16-rc1, and I observe a similarly strange, though
    > different, behavior:
    > hyperion:/home/khali/src/linux-2.6.16-rc1 # ls -l /dev/null
    > crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2006-01-18 09:30 /dev/null
    > hyperion:/home/khali/src/linux-2.6.16-rc1 # make distclean V=1
    ...
    > make -f scripts/Makefile.clean obj=scripts/kconfig
    > make -f scripts/Makefile.clean obj=scripts/kconfig/lxdialog
    When the above command is executed gcc is actually called two times due
    to following lines:
    scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/Makefile
    HOST_EXTRACFLAGS:= $(shell $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(check-lxdialog) -ccflags)
    HOST_LOADLIBES := $(shell $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(check-lxdialog) -ldflags $(HOSTCC))

    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.
