I think the "right" fix is probably to add -lcrypto to these lines in
configure.in, which are already accounting for random other possible
dependencies of libkrb5:

     AC_SEARCH_LIBS(com_err, [krb5 'krb5 -ldes -lasn1 -lroken' com_err], [],
                    [AC_MSG_ERROR([could not find function 'com_err' required for Kerberos 5])])
     AC_SEARCH_LIBS(krb5_sendauth, [krb5 'krb5 -ldes -lasn1 -lroken'], [],
                    [AC_MSG_ERROR([could not find function 'krb5_sendauth' required for Kerberos 5])])

but I'm not sure why no one else would've complained before, if that
were necessary...
