[OpenAFS] Kernel module for Linux 2.4 on SMP Sparc 64

[Simon Lyngshede]

I'm trying to compile openafs on a Debian Testing installation, on a
dual UltraSparc II box, but can't seem to build the kernel module. 

I tried different combinations of kernels and openafs versions, all
produce the same error. 

Both the Debian build utilites and the standard ./configure and make
fails, with the same error. 

I also attempted with gcc 3.4.4 and 3.3.5.

I believe that there is either something weird with openafs on Linux
running on Sparc or I have a problem with my installation (maybe
that's more likely). It could be related to a missing syscall.h, which
seems to be completely missing on my system.

Any pointers on how to get this working?

The following is the error output from "./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/afs & make". This is from OpenAFS 1.3.81, but 1.2.13
produce the same output.
