I'm also quite suspicious.  The libafs build system is rather
different from the rest of OpenAFS -- src/libafs/Makefile uses shell
for loops to call down into build-time created subdirectories in order
to build the 32- and 64-bit kernel modules.  My recollection is that
/usr/ccs/bin/make and gmake handle error code propagation from the
shell for loop-invoked submakes differently.  As a result, it's
possible one make variant is silently failing, while the other is
dropping dead in the water immediately.

So, to repeat Matt's question: are you sure it actually built libafs.o
with gmake, or did it just fail to abort on submake failure?
