The above is the cause of the failed install.  What filesystem are you on?  The
failure is severe, it created a directory, tried to rename the directory and got
an "Inappropriate ioctl for device".. in otherwords the device prevented the
rename for some reason.

Is your build being done on either an NFS, Clearcase, or other non-local
filesystem?  Or do you have selinux or something like that enabled that saw
"/var/cache", and prevented the renaming thinking it was a hacking attempt?

(FYI, the rename happens so that the creation of files/directories happens
atomically.  create /var/cache.XXXXXX then mv /var/cache.XXXXX /var/cache is
being done... ensuring the old item only goes away when the new item is fully
created.)
