I think the problem is that the configure script swaps over to
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc too early, before it runs the krb5 checks,
and therefore causes the tests to fail.

So..  Perhaps we need to move all the kernel tests later in the
configure script and have all the user-space tests earlier, so we
don't wind up with this problem?
