All,
I have run into the issue of nfs server seg faulting when trying to start.
After some searching I found that it is related to GCC 4.9.x and
nfs-utils-1.3.X
http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2014-July/027853.html
There is a patch that I have tested locally that works.
I'm not sure how to proceed, but this pretty much breaks nfs server
capabilities.

Subject: [PATCH [nfs-utils]] mountd: fix segfault in add_name with newer gcc
compilers
I hit a segfault in add_name with a mountd built with gcc-4.9.0. Some
NULL pointer checks got reordered such that a pointer was dereferenced
before checking to see whether it was NULL. The problem was due to
nfs-utils relying on undefined behavior, which tricked gcc into assuming
that the pointer would never be NULL.
At first I assumed that this was a compiler bug, but Jakub Jelinek and
Jeff Law pointed out:
"If old is NULL, then:
strncpy(new, old, cp-old);
is undefined behavior (even when cp == old == NULL in that case),
therefore gcc assumes that old is never NULL, as otherwise it would be
invalid.
Just guard
strncpy(new, old, cp-old);
new[cp-old] = 0;
with if (old) { ... }."
This patch does that. If old is NULL though, then we still need to
ensure that new is NULL terminated, lest the subsequent strcats walk off
the end of it.
