Well, any of the really fancy "Enterprise class" filesystems are
usually less well debugged than ext3+NFS :). And even NFS causes
enough trouble that I my first reaction in case of odd failures when a
network filesystem is involved is to move to /tmp to build to isolate
the network file system from the equation. I have build Sage on one
SLES 9 Itanium box where I couldn't even start Sage on some fancy
enterprise class SAN file system which shall remain nameless since I
don't remember all the details 100%.
Anyway, once the test pass run
./sage -bdist 3.2.3-RHEL4
and look in $SAGE_ROOT/dist afterwards. Untar that tallball into your
$HOME somewhere and start Sage once to assure that it starts (it will
also rewrite a bunch of pyc and la files) and run make check again to
assure that AFS isn't breaking some doctest. In that case you should
report it so we can attempt to fix or work around it.
Once you want to upgrade the current Sage install take the original
binary dist tarball, unpack it in temp, run it once to get everything
rewritten in case it needs to, run "./sage -upgrade", run -bdist and
lather, rinse, repeat ;).
Let me know if you run into any more trouble.

Excellent. I have made this
#5235 (Detect when Sage is build on AFS and issue a warning)
In case you have a shell code snipped that identifies that the current
working directory is on an AFS mount I would be happy to integrate it.
Given that this is the second independent report of the problem (both
on RHEL 4.x no less) I assume that others have failed and never
bothered to report the issue.
