  Ah, thanks, this is the information I am looking for. But wouldn't it be
a good idea to update the documentation to include this? I suspect quite a
lot of people are confused by current chapter 'Getting Started on IRIX
Systems', which says to select the nonfs-libs for non-nfs-machines and the
'with-nfs' for those with. The documentation seems to apply to the
original Transarc version of AFS which had two libs for every
architecture.
