Yes, I've tried the psql.exe which is shippe with pgadmin. And I've
tried psql.exe from the latest Windows installer from
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads

Both work when having hostnogssenc in pg_hba.conf. But both do not work
when hostgssenc is used in pg_hba.conf.

Does someone know why those binaries are not compiled with support for
hostgssenc?

We don't build the binaries that we ship with pgAdmin on Windows with GSSAPI support, for a couple of reasons. First, there's actually a long-standing bug [1]  in PostgreSQL that prevents compilation on Windows with both MIT Kerberos and OpenSSL together (I've tried multiple backchannels to get that fix committed - please feel free to chime in on the thread). Secondly, people almost exclusively use SSPI on Windows. You are actually the first person I recall ever wanting GSSAPI support.

FWIW, we ship MIT Kerberos anyway (for handling app logins). Adding GSSAPI support would be trivial, if the upstream bug were fixed.
