  78                               <h3>Native X86 Toolchain Build Problem</h3>
  79
  80 <p>When building the toolchain on x86 natively I kept getting different failures. It was frustrating to say the least. Conferred with Adam and he remembered a problem with the kernel changing timestamps on files due to an nmap problem (ECR <a href="http://saturn/ecr/ecr.php?ecr=22905">22905</a>) which still seems to be a problem. Emailed Vlad about this...</p>
  81
  82 <h3>Bluecat installation from CDs</h3>
  83
  84 <p>Bluecat installation was takng a long time due to timeouts in NFS for a stale file handle for some remotely mounted CDROM. Still have an issue with one RPM that has int:staff ownership:</p>

 102
 103 <p>Note that this is the only package that this occurred on. It seems to verify Sasha's assertion that if the rpm's are not packaged by a native user then such warnings will occur. Still it seems odd that these "ppc" rpm's have "i386" in them...</p>
