Both kernel/exit.c and fs/dcache.c refer to functions in kernel/futex.c which is not built unless CONFIG_FUTEX is true. This causes a build failure at link time:

kernel/built-in.o(.text+0xab58): In function `do_exit':
/usr/src/linux-2.6.14-rc/kernel/exit.c:851: undefined reference to `exit_futex'

/usr/src/linux-2.6.14-rc/fs/dcache.c:165: undefined reference to `futex_free_robust_list'


This problem is specific to the robust-futexes patch.

And that appears to be in rc5, right?
