Actually, it is reasonable stable. We have at least 1 fileserver that
was started the day 5.2.7 was released that is still running, 65.8 days
by now. And it has been used quite a lot, it handles among others my
email folders, the webpages, and homedirectories for 5 users.

So I wonder what the reason for the failed initialization might be.
Could you try to get a trace of the rpc2 packets with either
rpc2tcpdump, or by turning up debuglevels in the client (vutil -d 10 10)
and server (volutil setdebug 10). RPC2 should then write gobs of
information into /usr/coda/etc/console and /vice/srv/SrvErr

Yes, some makefiles override the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS variables. MYFLAGS
seems to be used everywhere, just like CC and CXX.
