Re: krb5 build error

oh yeah, i did this before, 10 years ago. then it worked. but i was warned to not go over 3 major versions. i guess it's too much effort to support all supported versions from current down. but here the offending part is actually supported as to build current on !fbsd, on macos, i just can't connect it up for build on fbsd

well, i guess if i can't build anymore i can go to 14 earlier

right now i patched that missing function right into mit kerberos code for a fun which worked. but i could disable it

why i didn't get that earlier is that i do quite mini builds and those work
