Ok. First let me start off by saying that 99.9% of the time I have no
problems at all, but ona few new machines I am having a very serious
problem. Most of the machines I have built the recent kernels on have
worked fine, except for ones where I load the 'xfs' kernel module that
is part of the 'arla' package.
When compiling the kernel and loading the arla module I get tons of
"SIG: sigpending lied" messages from the kernel and other odd problems
with the filesystem that this module provides access to. This occurs
when compiling with or without any optimization. If I build either the
kernel itself or the arla module using a pgcc patched egcs the problem
occurs. I do not know if an unpatched egcs has the problem.
The problem is 100% reproducible. As soon as I load arla I get a few of
the messages, and then more dependent on the degree of access to the
filesystem.

Reading specs from
/afs/umr.edu/software/egcs11/redhat52/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/pgcc-2.91.60/specs
gcc version pgcc-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1 release)
The module that gets compiled is relatively small, so if you wanted to
take a look at it, that might be reasonable.
Please let me know if I can provide any assistance or additional info,
for now, I've fallen back to using gcc for all kernel related compiles
on the machines that load arla.
