Russ, unless there is more text than what you quoted above defining the
interface, that's quite unclear to me. More or less all the
applications I'm aware of that have GSSAPI and explicitly want Kerberos
5 bindings plan to do Kerberos specific things. If the interface was
"Generic portable GSS-API application," I would expect the behavior you
describe.
My point is that to me as someone who has worked on this for a while
it's unclear whether "Kerberos 5 bindings" in a GSS application implies
krb5 symbols available or not.
