I should have elaborated. I'm cross-compiling using scratchbox for the 
maemo platform (ARMEL architecture).

What confuses me is that I built openafs before using this same box, but 
now I'm using a different scratchbox target (diablo).

My build box is actually running ubuntu under VMware on a Centos 5 host.
