At a guess, you need to either make krb5-config return 32 bit libpaths
first, or force your compiler and linker to be in 64 bit mode (e.g.
xlc_r -Wc,lp64 -Wl,lp64, ld -b64, gcc -maix64). Otherwise, the
configure tests throw errors which get sensed as the symbol not being
detected instead of what they actually are.
