Strange. ~:-|

I (still) have a FC2 + extras machine and I haven't had any compile
strangeness. What about a corrupt system? Have you checked the md5sum's of
your build environment binaries (make, gcc, tar, bash, awk) and the
tarballs?

[ben at xaos:~/dls]$ history 5
 1053  ( md5sum asterisk-1.0.0.tar.gz ; tar zxf asterisk-1.0.0.tar.gz ; cd asterisk-1.0.0 ; make clean all )
 1054  ( md5sum asterisk-1.0.0.tar.gz ; tar zxf asterisk-1.0.0.tar.gz ; cd asterisk-1.0.0 ; make -j clean all )
 1055  ( md5sum asterisk-1.0.0.tar.gz ; tar zxf asterisk-1.0.0.tar.gz ; cd asterisk-1.0.0 ; make clean all )
 1056  ( md5sum asterisk-1.0.1.tar.gz ; tar zxf asterisk-1.0.1.tar.gz ; cd asterisk-1.0.1 ; make clean all )

All worked a charm... except the -j which is expected to fail because it
cannot work out the correct dependencies... but it didn't fail where yours
failed. Yours failed with corrupted autogenerated files (e.g. help.c) ...
have you looked inside them after the fail? How is your hard drive?
