seems to be some fallout from this at least on my F10 box:

/usr/bin/makedepend: warning: ignoring option -Wall
/usr/bin/makedepend: error: cannot open "no-strict-aliasing"

also this change:

- preallo_rw_pattern_reader preallo_rw_pattern_writer ftrunc trunc \
- fs_perms testx looptest locktest unwritten_mmap \
+ ftrunc trunc fs_perms testx looptest locktest unwritten_mmap \
bulkstat_unlink_test bulkstat_unlink_test_modified t_dir_offset \

...

+PREALLO_TARGETS = preallo_rw_pattern_reader

seems to have lost the build of preallo_rw_pattern_reader & writer.

Was that stray, or what were you going for there?
