tech-pkg for pkg related discussion, but i've also included tech-userlevel
as the problem seems to be a kerberos problem really. 

Using a 1.5.2 system, I get: 

	checking for krb_recvauth in -lkrb... no

while you get a "yes" for the same test. What's happening here is that a
program consisting of a single krb_recvauth() call is compiled. It seems
this compile succesds for you, while it fails for me, with quite a list of
missing symbols:

	/usr/lib/libkrb.so: undefined reference to `net_write'
	/usr/lib/libkrb.so: undefined reference to `des_pcbc_encrypt'
	/usr/lib/libkrb.so: undefined reference to `init_error_table'
	/usr/lib/libkrb.so: undefined reference to `des_set_odd_parity'
	/usr/lib/libkrb.so: undefined reference to `des_key_sched'
	/usr/lib/libkrb.so: undefined reference to `base64_encode'
	/usr/lib/libkrb.so: undefined reference to `des_read_pw_string'
	/usr/lib/libkrb.so: undefined reference to `crypt'   
	/usr/lib/libkrb.so: undefined reference to `net_read'
	/usr/lib/libkrb.so: undefined reference to `des_set_key'
	...

The list is much longer, and includes symbols from libcrypt, libroken,
libresolv, etc. Running 'ldd' on /usr/lib/libkrb.so shows no other libs.
I can only guess that's the problem, maybe one of our Kerbero gurus can
have a look here.

I'm not sure how the (a.out) amiga works around this, we'd have to have a
look on the config.log output, and also what "ldd /usr/lib/libkrb.so" says
would be interresting.
