There's another problem with the lwp prototypes - is that where you had 
an error?  I sent in a bug report to RT.  One possible fix is to convert 
*(*ep) to (*ep) in the savecontext prototype in src/lwp/lwp.h

Also, the changes for 2.6.25 affect afsd - you need to at least compile 
and install a new version of afsd to get things working.
