Yes, I've read about that. Looks nice. There should be file where you can 
alter stuff like this, IIRC.

I think your CFLAGS are probably fine. I have sane (march, pipe, 
fomitframepointer) CFLAGS and the problem is still there. If they've worked 
for you before with no problems, they will probably work for you again.

I think your problem probably is that you're trying to build a system based 
off a 2.6.19 kernel/headers while remaining in stable for the rest of the 
tree. I guess that this is the case because there is only one significant 
difference between -r4 and -r5 of util-linux:

This will not work without a lot of unmasking. Only ~x86 is fully patched for 
2.6.19.
