debian distro.   As long as hozer hasnt changed anything, I should be  
building pure 64, we(I) had issues cross compiling pvfs2 on this box  
this summer and I thought things were moved back to pure 64.

tried this, and it got upset even doing the base `make`..  Same types  
of errors.

To answer Murali's question:
No problems compiling on x86_64.  although I did notice a warning:
   LD [M]  /usr/src/pvfs-2.6.0/src/kernel/linux-2.6/pvfs2.ko
   CC            src/apps/kernel/linux/pvfs2-client-core.o
src/apps/kernel/linux/pvfs2-client-core.c: In function  
'process_vfs_requests':
src/apps/kernel/linux/pvfs2-client-core.c:2904: warning:  
dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

I'll have hozer decided the compiling stuff if he ever comes back  
from SC....
