As Daniel Eischen wrote...

Well, like I wrote last week I now have tested the whole thing with
all known-good cables. Result: works much better.

2 CRC errors after 2 days of make world-ing from two different
machine hammering on the same NFS server box.

After taking a closer look I found that the wiring of the original
cables is not correct. They have 4 wire pairs straight-thru, so
2 adjacent pins are a pair. This is not what 10[0]baseT is spec-ed...

So, next step will be to borrow a crimptool and put new plugs on the
cables.

Thanks for helping
