[OpenAFS] openafs for AMD64

[Ken Kahn]

I'm trying to install OpenAFS 1.2.11 on an AMD64 system running RH EL WS
v3.0.  The only package for this level of RH that I found on the OpenAFS
site is for the i386 system.  I actually tried that without success.  I
tried downloading the OpenAFS source and compiling it myself, but couldn't
find a compatible afs-sysname to specify; e.g. I compiled the same source
for my IA64 platform and was able to successfully build OpenAFS using the
predefined afs_sysname ia64_linux24.

So I guess my question is how does one build an OpenAFS kernel extension for
a system not listed yet as a valid afs_sysname?  Has anyone actually build
OpenAFS for AMD64 running RHand is willing to share the experience.
