The oops at root remount in 2.4.5 is caused by an uninitialised dynamic
variable with undefined contents.  Different compilers leave different
garbage in dynamic variables, it is just concidence that the value from
gcc 2.96 breaks but the value from kgcc works.  The real bug is the
lack of initialisation.
