This thoroughly obfuscated error is the result of a rather trivial
assumption on the part of autoconf, that 'sed' is located in '/bin'.
If you 'make clean' and 'cp /usr/bin/sed /bin' then this error should
disappear.

There is an incompatibility with the linux-libc-4.6.20 version of
stdlib.h; I had to comment out a portion of it to get some of the
modules to compile.

Additionally, some of the Makefiles are generated incorrectly; for some
reason towards the later part of the build autoconf omits the -ldbm
option the 'LIBS=' definition.

Note: I was kindof impatient to get this thing compiled, and as a
result I slipped into the bad habit of neither to updating
ChangeLogs or maintaining any form of version control; oh well :)

If anybody would like to see my sources, however, (I don't think they
should be any different then the changes outlined above), I can make
them available if you email me.

I have placed the binaries that resulted from the build in

  ftp://spiff.gnu.ai.mit.edu/tmp/brian/krb5.tar.gz

That machine can be kindof slow, though, and often crashes for
lack of virtual memory. If anybody would like them in a better
location, tell me about it.
