The problem is in the autoconf/configure script.  The section of code that
checks for sys_call_table[] is now relying on the variable $AFS_SYSKVERS.
I spent some time yesterday afternoon tracking this down.  $AFS_SYSKVERS is
set from manipulating $LINUX_VERSION (line 2688 in the configure script
provided in the source tarball).  However this code is inside of an if
statement that's operating against --with-afs-sysname.  If you hand-specify
--with-afs-sysname then the configure script never sets $AFS_SYSKVERS
because it's inline of the logic for the auto-detection.  If you don't need
to explicitly specify --with-afs-sysname, try compiling without it.  I'm
hoping to have a patch for this problem, but haven't been able to get back
to it yet today.
