Oops,

  Sorry, I somehow replied to the wrong thread in my previous message.
(Well, my original reply got blocked because I attached some log file,
and got oversized, so I edited it and tried again, but got careless and
replied into the "64-bit mod_waklog / filedrawers on afs" thread.)  I
apoligize for any confusing I made in that thread.

  The output after calling ioctl() of "strace -f afsd" is in the
following, (compiler errors are after this output message.)

  For compiler errors, if I simple run rpmbuild -bb openafs.spec, it=20
shows: (using SRPM of openafs-1.4.14.1-1.1.src.rpm)

  I did notice I have /usr/lib64/libcom_err.so which is symlink
to /lib64/libcom_err.so.2, though there is no /usr/lib/libcom_err.so.
I supposed this is part of 64/32-bitness.  I did manually add a link
/usr/lib/libcom_err.so to /lib/libcom_err.so.2.  The compiling would
now go past the previous part, and no error until it began to compile
kernel module.  It would dump a lot of warning/error messages,
like:

  I try to get a preprocessed code output (using -E) of the=20
afs_vnop_flock.c, and noticed that struct flock64 is never
defined.  So I went to edit src/afs/afs.h, and changed the
only occurance of 'flock64' to 'flock', and the whole compiling
would then succeed.  Though the service cannot be started.

  Because whole compiler output is too large even after compressed,
I only included the most significant parts, (in my opinion anyway),
if it is really necessary to show more information, please let me
know, I will see what I can do then.
