Some poking around exposed the following chain of events: the company’smakeused a novel format to print out the absolute path of the directory in which the compiler ran; our script misparsed this path, producing the empty string that we gave as the destination to the Unix “cd” (change directory) command, causing it to change to the top level of the system; it ran “rm -rf *” (recursive delete) during compilation to clean up temporary files; and the build process ran as root. Summing these points produces the removal of all files on the system.
nice feature ;-)
