When building kerberos 5 from MIT, the ebuild should contain also the libkrb524 library, which is really important in building other things, such as aklog and stuff regarding afs/k5. Having only kerberos daemons is useless if you use other softwares built on kerberos layers, and having a back compatibility with k4, like I said, openafs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mit-krb5 Actual Results: Successfully built MIT Kerberos V without the library above. Expected Results: Include the libkrb524 library not only the daemon.
