I think the problem is that some files got recompiled, some didn't.
Since options FIFO just adds -DFIFO to the CFLAGS in the makefile, no dependencies
will be visible to make to see what files to recompile. Do a make clear, or
if you don't want to recompile everything do a find /sys -exec grep FIFO "{}" \;
-exec touch "{}" \; .
