 The good news is that the backup script appears to be adequate to
distinguish good and bad kernels : backing up /boot (I have a new
kernel at each stage of bisection, so always something to transfer
with rsync) either works, or appears to transfer something (I see
network activity in my desktop's panel) and then hangs.

 The bad news is that so many of the nfs commits fail to build with
my config (attached to original post).  At the moment I seem to be
stuck at 15 commits to test.  So far I've installed and tested about
eight commits between 3.4 and 3.5-rc2, and failed to build another
seven (three different errors so far).  Enough for tonight, I'll
resume somewhen.
