Should be fixed by
http://git.openafs.org/?p=openafs.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=5a2081ee04edc4944157b908200c3996a962edd1

But you've already worked around it.

This I can't debug easily unless I have a system to fiddle with.
afs_vcount is unconditionally defined in afs_vcache.o, and if you don't
have afs_vcache.o you're missing a ton of other stuff, too. (Same goes
for afs_cacheStats/afs_dcache.o)

This is _all_ you changed? The only thing I can see that that does is
add optimization, which shouldn't have much effect. It's possible for
symbol references to be optimized away, but I don't see how the
reference in afs_daemons.o can be removed; we need that value.

No, you're probably just the first person to try running the client on
Solaris 11 sparc. I don't have any sparc boxes with 11 on them (though
that will probably change soon enough), so I can't really help you for
now unless you're offering me root access on such a machine of your own
that I can mess around with.

That would be a great help. This page has some information on how to get
started with that: <http://wiki.openafs.org/AFSLore/BuildbotSlaveHowto/>

The buildbot admin it mentions that you would want to contact I believe
is still Jason Edgecombe <jason@rampaginggeek.com>. How fast would the
box be able to complete a full build of the OpenAFS tree?
