We've spent some more time looking at this, and when the -17 libc6-dev was
installed, it was showing the 2.2.18pre21 headers.
I've looked into it some more, and the problem is the NFS v3 patches that
were accepted into 2.2.18. The busybox code is written for the old NFS v2
code, and ends up breaking on the kernel headers with NFS v3.
Our choices seem to be: backport NFSv3 support for busybox for boot-floppies,
back out the NFSv3 changes in the kernel headers, or use an older kernel's
headers.
One downside is that our mount binary probably won't build from source without
patches. Perhaps it should be updated for nfsv3 as well?
