Dear Linus Walleij,
In message CACRpkdaqvK3730mB67C8Bmpfm6fLHb1Tz-Bzr=Lhxn1bFw2i3g@mail.gmail.com you wrote:
Yes I'm reluctant about the whole thing, doesn't say from the patch it was indeed intended as a discussion item...
You should have marked it as "RFC" in the subject, then.
Then this happens on my side:

Which is because: ls -al build/tools/gen_eth_addr.o -rw-rw-r--. 1 linus linus 0 Jul 12 17:16 build/tools/gen_eth_addr.o
This is what I see:

Not many hints here though :-(
Something in your host system appears to be broken.
I've tested both on 32 bit (gcc-4.6.0-9.fc15.i686) and 64 bit (gcc-4.6.0-9.fc15.x86_64) systems, without seeing any such problems.
Sorry...
Best regards,
