[OpenAFS] afsmodname Symbol table problems in RHEL 4.0

[Derek Atkins]

Note that for x86_64 you probably don't need the --target and you probably
DO want the --define "build_modules 1" -- otherwise it'll build the user
space code too, which you might not want.

Does the current README in the RPMS still talk about afsmodname?  I
thought I corrected that.
