Thanks Stephan!
I think the CONFIG_AVX512 command is going to matter only if you're on a
system that supports it (none of ours do). I think RHEL 7.4 introduced some
additional support for AVX512, which may explain why you see that on a RHEL
7.4 system.
We just usually build the RPMs using the provided source RPM and "rpmbuild
--rebuild" commands (which I believe removes the build tree automatically).
Not sure if this is relevant, but when we first discovered the issue, most
of the OpenAFS RPMs being used were built on a pre-RHEL 7.4 system. The
only RPM that was specifically built on a RHEL 7.4 system would have been
the kmod-openafs RPM (for the RHEL 7.4 kernel). We don't use DKMS for our
OpenAFS setup.
We can still do a manual configure on a system and attach the config.log as
well, if you'd still like that. Just let us know.
Thanks.

Besides the fact that in the 7.4 case conftest.c is compiled with an additi=
