Anyway, fact is that I can't compile any kernel on the Linus tree. This,
for more than a month.
Could anyone please help me find out which package is the broken one?
/bin/sh in Bash.
2.6.16-rc1 has a bug that trashes /dev/null and is the cause for this
error. Recreate /dev/null and compile it as a non-root user. LKML people
seem to be aware of this, so it likely to be fixed in the future release
(2.6.16-rc1-git4 is still affected). I also learned the lesson the hard
way by forgetting to exit root before compiling. Oh well...
Other than that, 2.6.16-rc1 works fine, but may break iptables on some
systems (also a known bug).
