As a comparison test, I built the kdelibs package with the stock 3.5.10 and there were no messages about -lgssapi_krb5. Thus something has changed since then. :) I searched the kdelibs sources and found only two files using the lgssapi_krb5 term: kdelibs/kioslave/http/configure.in.in: GSSAPI_LIBS="${GSSAPI_LIBS}-lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err ${LIBRESOLV}" kdelibs/kioslave/http/Makefile.am:kio_http_la_LDFLAGS = $(all_libraries) $(GSSAPI_RPATH) -module $(KDE_PLUGIN) -lgssapi_krb5 The kdelibs/kioslave/http/configure.in.in files in svn and 3.5.10 are identical. I looked at the two configure files but found nothing obvious why the svn version requires krb5. The configure --help output mentions a --with-gssapi= option, but I found no clue as to which option to pass to disable that support. I tried NOTFOUND but that did not work. Hopefully this information helps you!
