Yeah, it was against the CVS head, I forgot to mention that.

One way to do that is to extract __divdi3 from libgcc and link it into
your openafs module.

  cd /tmp
  ar x /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/libgcc.a _divdi3.oS
  ld -r -o libafs-new.o _divdi3.oS /lib/modules/2.4.27-afs64/fs/openafs.mp.o

and then try to load /tmp/libafs-new.o as your kernel module.
Substitute the appropriate paths for libgcc.a and openafs.mp.o as
necessary.
