I have a 3.1 NFS server holding the -current sources. I build kernels over NFS using a -current testbox. Sometimes it builds kernels alright, sometimes you get kernels that panic with 100% repeatability. Just doing a config -r and a rebuild normally fixes this. The same thing happened when the NFS server was still at 2.2.8-stable Buildworlds with a local /usr/obj seem to work just fine.
