For the past few months, I have been building systems with the latest
XFS from CVS using GCC 3.2...  I have yet to run into a problem that
was due to the compiler.  The systems are all over the map, from dual
Xeon servers with lots of disk to PIII-M laptops to Athelon workstations
to even a 486 "honey pot" machine.  All are running XFS as their only
filesystem (modulo ISO-9660 and NFS) and some have been very heavily
used.

I just wish we had our big cluster running this stuff yet.  However,
our product plans had to slow down due to resources...
