It is a bug with gnu-make, but it was worked around by enabling

Are there any others (that are specifically known)? Is there any reason to
enable Glibc-Malloc-Compat for a headless server (I haven't so far, and
nothing's blown up)?

The kbuild modpost program also has the same problem. It also assumes
that malloc(0) returns a live pointer. I put a check around the
mallocs for zero size and everything works fine now. I am now cleaning
up all the packages i am using. I think i even used alloca instead of
malloc in some of them. Maybe its a good idea to submit patches to
the upstream developers?
