That would imply a special hook in the SPEC file for RHEL3.  Right now
I have a single SPEC file that builds on all the supported RHEL and FC
systems.

I see nothing wrong with using krb5-config.   That's not the problem, and
in fact using krb-config solves other problems.  I just need to detect
whether to also add -lkrb524 to the list of libraries returned from
krb5-config.
