I noticed a compilation warning on x86:
util.c: In function 'do_ptrace':
util.c:260: warning: passing argument 4 of 'ptrace' makes integer from pointer without a cast
defs.h:163: note: expected 'long int' but argument is of type 'void *'
util.c: In function 'ptrace_restart':
util.c:282: warning: passing argument 4 of 'ptrace' makes integer from pointer without a cast
defs.h:163: note: expected 'long int' but argument is of type 'void *'

Mike Frysinger already submitted a fix for this issue, I'm going to check
it on x86 and x86-64, and merge it if everything is OK.

Another small issue is file timestamps in release tarball.
Since git does not store timestamps, all files will have current mtime
after checkout, while we still package files with last modification in
previous century (e.g. PORTING).

There is a script, git-set-file-times, which could be called right after
checkout to set mtime and atime of files to their latest commit time in git:
http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=rsync.git;a=blob_plain;f=support/git-set-file-times

I suggest to use it for preparing release tarball.
