From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> The cunit test in the Makefile does a compile test to check if the cunit package is installed or not. But it does not have a "-o" option, and thus will write the result to "a.out" leaving the "a.out" in the source directory. By adding "-o /dev/null" to the compile check, it will write the output to /dev/null and not leave an extra executable around.
