just compiled it and tested it,
lucky as I am, I run similiar hardware like you do, so I can only
report:
SMC Ultra is fine running 2.1.0
Another report about speed:
Recompiling a clean pre2.1.0-tree with my configuration took:
using Linux 2.0.21:
554.28user 36.98system 10:18.67elapsed 95%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+0minor)pagefaults 0swaps
using Linux 2.1.0:

Well, that's 0,6%. Of cause, I can't claim that my single pass test
has any relevance. Who Bever thinks, that this is very little, should
consider that the German magazine c't was already delighted when
Maple ran 10-15% faster using Linux instead of Windows.
