I found and fixed some assumptions about sizeof(long) and byte-endianess in 
the netatalk code base about ten years (while porting to Alpha).  I don't know 
if it ever made it to the official package, nor do I recall offhand whether 
Alpha CPUs were big or little-ended.  I doubt the word-size issue is 
operative, since I can build on x86_64 Linux and things work fine.

Where are you getting the netatalk sources?  If it's the upstream tarball, you 
might want to grab the Ubuntu source deb and pick through the various patches 
they apply to the build.  Something in there may need to be ported over.

It's actually good in a way that both Macs and A2s are having problems - means 
it's something common and perhaps easier to find.
