| In arla the sysnames are as follows on Linux i386:

| (i386_linux4 (libc4, not tested for))
| i386_linux5 (libc5)
| i386_linux6 (libc6)

It may make more sense, but it's not what the rest of the AFS world is using 
so it's a problem when talking to existing AFS installations with existing 
linux-afs clients.

FWIW we're using i386_linux2 for libc5, i386_linux2g currently for libc6, 
but we're going to switch to i386_linux3 when the "official unofficial" 
glibc linux-afs port comes out (it will use i386_linux3 for glibc2/libc6).  
I'm not overly fond of it, but it's what I have to live with.
