   I have discovered a problem with the compiling kerberos 5 without
   kerberos 4 compatibility.  In some of the Makefiles, the variable
   K4LIB gets set to "$(KRB4ROOT)/lib/libkrb.a" which ends up as
   "/lib/libkrb.a".  This library does not exists.  The problem seems
   to be located in appl/bsd and appl/telnet/telnetd.  If this is not
   a bug, please let me know, I am not very experienced with kerberos.

Yes, this was a bug that was introduced accidentally just before our
last release.  Just remove the offending "$(KRB4ROOT)/lib/libkrb.a" from
your makefile if you do not need Kerberos 4 compatibility.  It will be
fixed for real in the next release.
