Here is a more detailed summary of the changes needed to compile
Kerberos V on the Linux Platform. This file can also be obtained
from 'ftp://spiff.gnu.ai.mit.edu/tmp/brian/' .

I say with much regret that in the hasty manner in which I went about
the build I neglected to record any of the changes that I made, or any
circumstances that prevented a build of Kerberos V on a Linux Platform.
To the best of my recollection, however, I had to make the following
changes:
* In order to get the subsystem to build ("ss") it was necessary to
copy '/usr/bin/sed' to '/bin' .
* In order to get the kerberos libraries to build it was necessary to
modify stdlib.h . I commented out line 141 of the inc-4.6.20 version
which read 'extern void srandom __P((unsigned int __seed));' .
* In order to build the administration utilities it was necessary to
modify the Makefiles generated by Autoconf such that they linked
with libdbm .
Despite the spurious errors generated by these inconsistancies, the
modifications required to build such a large system were fairly trivial.
Autoconf deserves a lot of credit, imho, for making such a system
relatively easy to port.
