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.
