Am trying to track down whats changed. Ok, this seems to be related to the changes in: vdso-hash-style-fix.patch Backing this out reverses the new behaviour. It looks like the check to see if the options are valid, use -o /dev/null -xc /dev/null and that is causing the compiler to remove /dev/null. The machines affected do not seem to have such old compilers: gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-3) Yeah, yeah I know I should not be running my builds as root, but then we should not be eating it either. -apw
