Hi Adam,

the latest version 1.08 of libnss-afs cannot be build on a amd64 Ubuntu Jaunty.
I'm getting this error message:

gcc -shared -fPIC -o libnss_afs.so.2 nss_afs.o \                                          
        -Wl,-soname,libnss_afs.so.2 -L/usr/lib/afs -L/usr/lib -lafsauthent -lafsrpc -lpthread -lsys -lnsl -lresolv -g

make: *** [libnss_afs.so.2] Error 1   

But when I use the old LDFLAGS definition from version 1.07 the compilation is successful.
