Well I tried it with GNU's make and its still broken:

> gmake[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/arla-0.25/xfs/solaris'
> ld -r -o ./xfs xfs_deb.o xfs_common.o xfs_dev.o xfs_message.o xfs_node.o
> xfs_syscalls.o xfs_vfsops.o xfs_vnodeops.o xfs_wrap.o
> ld: cannot open output file ./xfs: Is a directory

Also the 0.25 version crashes my Solaris 7 machine whenever one does
		ls /afs
As the crash messages roll I see -

	xfs module trying to free NULL pointer
	trap type 0x31
	addr = 0x14

but this then all vanishes during the reboot.
