Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't even thought of that -- but it's not
the case.

The reauth Makefile is rather generic and doesn't specify an architecture
at all. I believe SUNWspro 5.0, which is what I'm using, generates 32-bit
code by default unless you explicitly specify -xarch=v9 which I didn't do.

Indeed, if you _do_ request 64-bit with the -xarch=v9 flag (I tried now
that you mentioned it), linking reauth fails -- AFS symbols are undefined
in the 64-bit space as you've pointed out and the final binary can't be
produced.
