Yes, that's also my impression.  It would be good to add a clear
note/warning about it somewhere in the README, or even change the
`configure.in' to test O_DIRECT (or even disable it on the affected
platforms).
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why my LVM2 build
didn't work and how to fix it, and I hope nobody else needs to go
through that.
