Oh -- I bet now if you build the USB stuff as a module, it'll start
working again.  Sounds like the udev part of the problem was when it
tried to process the rule to load the aliased module, and modprobe
failed.  :-)

(mount also tries to load a module for the FS -- or at least, it causes
the kernel to try.)

So the cause was that distclean doesn't actually do anything?  That's an
odd thing for a package to do (and probably a bug), but it would explain
the left-over debugging junk in the binaries.

It would have been more informative for the kernel to return a "no such
filesystem" error (because it couldn't load nfs) instead of "no such
device", but hey, whatever.
