It's a private symbol, so you can't get the existing check to work --
because fetchmail doesn't actually use the symbol, it's easier to just
modify which tests configure performs.

The krb5-devel package includes a krb5-config script which can be called
to get the right compiler flags, and I prefer using that method whenever
it's offered by a package.  The patch I just sent to fetchmail-friends
modifies configure to do this, let me know if you need a separate copy.

Cheers,
