Then you should remove those "extern int errno;" lines, too.
On my machine this error doesn't appear.

I've never tested 1.5 (except now).
You should remove those "compareTo" methods and "implement Comparable".
(I "guess" nobody relies on that comparsion; if I were the maintainer I would accept such a change into openafs.)

After then it works for me (I've run testAFS.java; "most" of the functions work - with restrictions).
