Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openafs-modules-source

trying to build a binary module from openafs-modules-source
1.4.4-dfsg1-5 for linux-image-2.6.22-9-rt 2.5.22-9.20 (linux-
headers-2.6.2-9-rt 2.6.22.9-20, actually) with

sudo module-assistant -t -l 2.6.22-9-rt build openafs-modules-source

fails with

...
  LD [M]  /usr/src/modules/openafs/src/libafs/MODLOAD-2.6.22-9-rt-MP/openafs.o
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 1 modules
FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module openafs.ko uses GPL-only symbol 
'__rcu_read_unlock'

OpenAFS is distributed under the IBM Public License 1.0, which is
incompatible with GPLv2, and I assume that the -rt kernel relies on GPL-
only code, but an end-user should be allowed to build the module
himself, since the GPL doesn't cover the derivative work unless it's
redistributed (right?).

Building the same source module for linux-image-2.6.22-9-generic , of
course, works.
