We are experiencing a problem that we also had with 2.1,
namely sporadic file lookup failures.  We are compiling
large packages where the sources are on a SunOs 4.1.x system
mounted via NFS.  Frequently the compiles fail due to
missing .h files, but when the compile is restarted everything
is fine.  This typically happens with files that were included
by the file compiled just before (in fact, usually it happens 
with files included by *all* modules in the makefile).

Anyone else have this problem.  Anyone have a fix or a
pointer to what the problem might be?
