There have been lots and lots of solutions that work.  The error message
is extremely generic and means that, basically, OpenAFS was unable to find
kernel headers that correspond to the kernel against which you're
building.  In order to see what the problem really is, you have to look
at the config.log output.

It's not useful to look for patches based on this particular error because
there is no "rlim error."  That error message means "compiling with your
kernel headers failed" and there are literally hundreds of different
things that could be wrong.
