This message is secret code for "the configure script failed to figure out 
what is going on".  You are going to have all sorts of problems unless you 
fix the underlying issue instead of trying to manually hack around the 
tests which actually result in compilation errors.

Usually, the problem is that configure couldn't compile anything against 
the kernel headers.  This may be because you're using the wrong compiler, 
or the wrong kernel headers, or that you don't have the kernel headers 
installed at all.


Some of the problems you described _might_ be the result of post-2.6.16 
changes that OpenAFS doesn't know about yet, and which were backported by 
SuSE into their "2.6.16.13" kernel.  But before going down that path, I 
suggest you solve the configuration issue.
