That doesn't make a lot of sense.  LVM/no LVM and ext4 or XFS or ZFS 
shouldn't make any difference to the compiler.

I could see problems happening if they set SELinux to "enforcing" and 
put together a fine-grained and bloody-minded set of policies.  In that 
case, a compiler-generated executable might not have the right security 
context to read its config file or its data files.  Heck, "make install" 
would probably fail on a system like that even if you ran it as root and 
left PREFIX as /usr/local .
