nah, it's not doing worse at all and my comment was not really about the bug itself (bugs happen), but about the most efficient way to report that bug - which in hindsight is not an argument i should have gotten into. arch/x86 has at least this proportion of build bugs if not more. [and the scheduler is a 50 times smaller piece of code so it's not really comparable.]
btw., managed to test 755 random kernels today:
#define UTS_VERSION "#755 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 21 21:12:52 CEST 2008"
with no runtime (or build) failure anywhere. [other than in freshly added x86.git or scheduler patches that is.]
