great. Note that it's randconfig generated - so watch out for weird config combinations.
randconfig, besides finding build-bugs, is also good at finding various runtime bugs: it is great at finding weird alignment and boundary-condition bugs in generic code, and it's also great at finding races (by virtue of introducing random delays between various functions, via random enabling/disabling of debug facilities and other options that impact the generated code's layout and timing).
