Actually, I do hit it, just not all the time. And no, I don't redirect
</dev/null while building. A contributing factor seems to be whether the
build is scripted or interactive. An LFS style build (as root) doesn't hit
it when scripted but a Pacman based build (where everything is built
unprivileged) does hit it. Kinda makes sense now that I think about it :-/
Anyhoo, hopefully this tweak will DTRT in all circumstances.
