The problem seems to be that SASL is trying to use the openssl crypto
library, but we only have the static library (libcrypto.a) installed
on Sun.  This breaks the dynamic loading of the kerberos plugin.  A
quick test of building and installing shared openssl libraries resolved
the problem, though such a solution could have undesirable side-effects
elsewhere; the alternative would be to work around this, one way or
another, in the SASL build system, which I will investigate next.
