Initially, I received an error about not being able to find libkrb524. 
So, my initial fix was to use perl to get rid of the -lkrb524 in the 
linker options (since in the krb docs, those apis have been moved into 
the libkrb.a library). When I received other errors with the afs-krb5 
stuff not building, I just turned it off (and didn't bother removing 
the perl command since it was no longer executed, at any rate).

See the email from Grant Williamson concerning a lot of errors about 
CONFIG_NR_CPUS being "undeclared here". Removing the 
--enable-redhat-buildsys fixed that.

I believe that i586 is still supported. The modules were not named 
improperly (they were named according to the same scheme as has been 
used on redhat for a while). But, when afs attempts to load a module, 
it is not using the same naming scheme. So, one or the other needs to 
be fixed.

I suspect it has to do with there no longer being a number before the 
"smp" in the release name.

Compare
2.4.18-27.7.x.ccmr.1smp

with
2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp

There would prolly not be a problem if it was named something like: 
2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.1smp

Yep. What exactly is this supposed to do, at any rate?

Can't think of a good one other than they got commented out when I made 
the change of getting rid of redhat-buildsys

As for the why on the "perl" command, see above.
Yes, the appropriate solution is to fix afs-krb5. The idea for the 
moment was just to get afs to compile, with or without krb5 support.
