I just played around a bit with the following results:
sources on reiserfs, lndir on reiserfs -> make fails, diff ok
sources on reiserfs, lndir on ext2 -> make ok
sources on ext2, lndir on reiserfs -> make fails, diff ok
Doing the diff against a second copy of the tree shows no errors, too.
Always the same behaviour: You have to run lndir at least twice to
get the error. If the link tree was already set up after a boot, the
error occurs only after rm + lndir + rm + lndir.
There's a strange way to get things working just like after a reboot.
After diff'ing the link tree with the 2nd copy (both on reiserfs),
make World won't fail - at least once.
I also tried in the link tree:
find ! -type d -exec cat '{}' \; >/dev/null
And it seems to have the same effect as the diff.

Nope, not any single message (except the usual ones).
The error on shutdown (when umounting /proc) appeared once again,
with the the same error message. Though I have no clue how that
could be related to reiserfs.
Two missed details: the reiserfs partion exists on a software
raid0 device. I configured glibc-2.2.3 with --enable-kernel=2.4.1.
Shall I try moving back to glibc-2.2.2 / configuring for lower kernel?
