FreeBSD7-RC1 gss api library linkage issue

When I link an app. that uses gssapi libraries on FreeBSD7-RC1 (i386),
they link, but the binary fail with:
dlopen() cant open /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.8.
(The version on the system is /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.9.)

I got around the problem by creating a symlink for libgssapi_krb5.so.8 
that points to libgssapi_krb5.so.9, but there mus be a better fix? (Is
the path hardwired in libgssapi sources?)

The good news is that, after creating the symlink, everything works fine.
(The bug I reported w.r.t. crashes inside the gssapi library in the May
2007 snapshot has been fixed.:-)
