With old RHEL4 kernels (prior to 2.6.9-55), FMODE_EXEC is missing and there
are some problems with nested symlinks.
(see http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Patchless_Client
     https://bugzilla.clusterfs.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12652

There are also some performance issues because the RHEL4 kernels lack some
features available in newer kernels.
