kernel modules cant be constant-gp -- only the kernel proper is constant-gp.
if you wanted to link afs directly into the kernel (and i didnt during
development) this would work fine.

btw, openafs-current seems to working fine with my 2.4.5 production kernels.
i dont know if there anything 'extra' about redhat's 2.4.9 ia64 kernel. i
am using a turbolinux userland.  btw, what does redhat use to build the
kernel on ia64?  kgcc or gcc?
