I started a retry of root-on-ZFS with the Optane-in-PCIe-slot media
and it got its first corruption (in a different place, 2nd bulk
build this time). The use of the corrupted file reports:
configure:13269: cc -o conftest -Wall -Wextra -fsigned-char =

So: 538 such null bytes.
Thus, another example of something like a page of nulls being
written out when ZFS is in use.
audio/gstreamer1-plugins-ogg also failed via referencing the file
during its build.
(The bulk run is still going and there is one more bulk run to go.)
