I guess that my mention about using gcc-3.0 was not that good. To clearify a
bit kernel compiled with gcc-3.0 runs just fine (ok XFS part is not used
now). The real point thou is that kernel compiles without problems and
xfsprogs do not compile.
Nathan Scott from SGI send me patch but it didn't work. I now figured some
other way to fix that and it seems it partially worked (now it quits with:
=== mkfile ===
gcc -g -DDEBUG -funsigned-char -Wall -I../include '-DVERSION="1.2.4"'
-D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DXFS_BIG_FILES=1
-DXFS_BIG_FILESYSTEMS=1 -c -o xfs_mkfile.o xfs_mkfile.c
xfs_mkfile.c: In function `main':
xfs_mkfile.c:144: `O_DIRECT' undeclared (first use in this function)
xfs_mkfile.c:144: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
xfs_mkfile.c:144: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [xfs_mkfile.o] Error 1
(i'm writing this at the same as it's compiling). This should be easier to
solve

Already tried this.
