On a DN10000, using SR10, the C compiler is apparently unable to write
an object file into the current directory if that directory is an
NFS-mounted directory.  I don't have the rev numbers for SR10 and NFS
with me, but SR10 was shipped with the DN10000 about two months ago
and NFS arrived about two weeks ago.

I realize the problem is probably related to the object-typed file
system on the Apollo.

Is this a known problem ? Is there a work-around ? Will it be fixed ?

If more information is needed, I can post the error message produced
in this case (cryptic) and find out the rev numbers on the software.

A related question is, once this problem is resolved, will I be able to
write an apollo executable over NFS into foo:/bin/bar, create a tar
tape from the real unix machine foo, read the tar tape back on a
different apollo, and then have a file which SR10 will agree is an
executable ?

Thanks,
