Don't do that.  It will not work.
You will note that one of the files in the listing above is README.CVS, 
which tells you things about the CVS repository, how to build from files 
you checked out yourself, etc.  If you are going to build from CVS, please 
follow the instructions in that file.

Alternately, you can use the source tarballs available from the OpenAFS web 
site or in /afs/grand.central.org/software/openafs/candidate/1.4.1-rc4
