after having had trouble with compilation due to old gcc version, i have updated to gcc 3.0 and received the following error:
2.4.4pre6 only builds with gcc 2.96. If you apply the
__builtin_expectfixes it builds and runs fine with 2.95. Not tried egcs. The gcc 3.0 asm constraints one I've yet to see a fix for.
BTW. The above attitude was fostered by informing the Changes maintainer that the recommended NFS userspace server was on the exploits list (back in the 2.0 kernel days when knfs was new) and getting a "I don't use that, so what" response.
...and the documentation continued to recommend an exploitable NFS server... in short: you must cross-check to be sure, at least in linux you have a few more options.
