I think to remember a relatively old message (sept.96 perhaps) from Karl complaining about networking problems (not sure if they were NFS-related) that disappeared when compiling the kernel with an older gcc (2.6.2 or 2.6.3 I don't remember). Maybe the compiler has some responsibility also for these NFS problems ? That could be easy to check, if someone has a way to reproduce the problem.
