Marc,
I have no means of testing the patches under Intel linux. Most of the
issues on Alpha were differences between kernel headers and glibc headers
with regard to storage sizes. On alpha, the userland dev_t is an unsigned
long (64-bits) while the kernel syscalls expected dev_t to be unsigned int
(32-bits). There is a patch floating around at cmu.edu which claims to
make linux-nfs functional on Intel glibc. It did not address many of the
problems that mine did on Alpha, but you may wish to hunt it down and try
it!
