I might also ask why you are using the transarc paths at all -- wouldn't it
be easier to conform to the de facto standard filesystem hierarchy with the
default openafs configuration?

(There's also the option of passing --enable-static --disable-shared to
configure, though I don't remember exactly what that ends up doing.)
