Just poking around, it looks like something along this line would work:

#ifdef GSSKRB_APPLE_DEPRECATED
#error "Postgres doesn't work with the macOS GSSAPI library, please use XXX instead."
#endif

(in any suitable spot after #including gssapi.h)

Now, this is testing the *headers* not the actual *library*, which in
some sense is not the right thing.  But it's probably close enough for
the purpose.
