It is not a discrepancy. It means that only processes running as root can use the remaining space. What is a problem that in this case /tmp is mounted as tmpfs with 1M space by the initscripts and openafs apparently needs more than 1M space to build. The workaround would be to use the -pipe gcc option I guess. Another solution would be to mount reasonable amount of space as overflow tmp in the initscripts.
