I experienced analogous problems compiling several packages on
RH6.0 on a FS connected to Solaris 2.
We have yet not finally resolved the problem, but if avoiding
NFS everything is OK. Repeat compiling one module several times
and test it with e.g. objdump -j. In our case the object file
was sometimes OK and sometimes the string table was malformed.
This hints at a race-condition (of NFS?)
