unfsd problems in 2.1.84

With a Solaris 5.5.1 client to an Alpha 2.1.84 server:

gcc -c -DIN_GCC -DSVR4 -g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../egcs/gcc -I../../../egcs/gcc/config ../../../egcs/gcc/getopt.c
getopt.o: Is a directory
/var/tmp/cca004S7.s: Assembler messages:
/var/tmp/cca004S7.s:2693: FATAL: Can't write getopt.o: Is a directory

And of course on the localhost getopt.o is not a directory, but
an empty file. I've also gotten the reverse once or twice, with
a configure complaining that a newly created directory wasn't.

This is something I don't remember happening about 2.1.71, but I may
be wrong. It doesn't seem to happen with Irix 5.3 or 6.2 clients.

Ideas? Things to try to isolate the problem further?
