Tom,
you seem to have hit the gcc 2.96 or similar optimizer bug.
Please regenerate the LVM software *without* optimization (change "-O2"
to "-O0" in the configure script;run "make distclean";
run "./configure;make;make install").
With regard to PVs displayed as "NOT available": they simply belong
to a not activated volume group and hence have that status.
Regards,
Heinz -- The LVM Guy --
