I never tried to build it with the new sourcetree. OpenAFS 1.2.11 
worked with a few small changes.
I don't need it any more... ;-)

BTW what version of the jafs libraries are you using since IBM released 
some updates some time ago.
I think the latest code from Manuel is here:

AFAIK the Makefile.<platform> variants are discontinued. They simply 
aren't used any more.
Go into the directory and try make. Eventually you have to change some 
path. It shouldn't be such a big deal ... but if you're trying to use 
those libraries you'll notice pretty quick that they're hopelessly out 
of date.
