I was on 2.6.24 and didn't have a problem compiling the kernel -O0 other
than a minor tweak in slab.c. Now in 2.6.27-rc3 I get a compile problem
with rpcb_clnt.c at lines 122, 123, and 129:

    /export/src/xtensa-next/net/sunrpc/rpcb_clnt.c:129: error: (near initialization for 'rpcb_in6addr_loopback.sin6_port')

byteorder.h was already in sync with linus's tree and I updated swab.c
as it had a few changes. Unfortunately the problem persist. I think the
problem is likely in changes made to rpcb_clnt.c since 2.6.24.

You can likely reproduce it by configuring NFS and compiling -O0.
