[OpenAFS] problems with OpenAFS 1.4.4 on Linux

[Norbert Schuch]

Hi,

this seems the same problem as in

http://www.nabble.com/Strange-access-problems-on-one-client-tf4256181.html#=
a13077327

Basically, this is a problem with between openafs and gcc-4.2.
So either use an older gcc, or use the patch found later in this thread.
