genksyms == /dev/null ?!?

Hmmm, the line (in kernel source 2.1.20):

root@igor:/usr/src/linux/kernel# gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce
-pipe -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586
-E -D__GENKSYMS__ ksyms.c | /sbin/genksyms /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modules/

seems to do absolutely bog all, even giving it a bogus destination
directory doesn't do anything. The -d option defnly shows something is
happening inside genksyms (and AFAIK I have the latest version). 'Tis most
perplexing...

Maybe my brain needs debugging first. :(
