odd NFS problem with 2.5.44

odd NFS problem with 2.5.44

[Dave Jones]

Colour me puzzled..

make -f arch/i386/lib/Makefile

(Source directory is on /mnt/equinox)

This is building under a 2.5.44 kernel. Trying it under a 2.4.19 works.
Wierder still, cut-n-pasting the ld line that fails makes it succeed
the next time around.

Weird NFS breakage ?
