Ew, web forums.

When you get to that point, try hacking configure to set CC to the 64-bit
compiler in this case and see if that works.  You unfortunately have to
hack configure to do this since the Autoconf situation for discovering the
compiler is kind of messed up right now in OpenAFS.  You'll get a pure
64-bit build including the userspace, but that should actually work, even
if it's not ideal.  It will at least get you far enough to see if the
kernel module even works.
