Re: AIX build fails with missing symbol .krb5_c_make_random_key

Sure, I agree for testing that's fine.

But, there is evidence to suggest that this has compiled successfully on AIX 6.1 and 7.2 in the past, and this issue would have occurred there.

Or are you suggesting that all successful compiles used Kerberos packages which provided only 32-bit libraries?

Thanks.

It's reasonable to just pass CFLAGS (and LDFLAGS?) to configure for
diagnosis, but I think the long-term answer would be in the
src/cf/osconf.m4 stanza I mentioned earlier.

I don't see anything in your krb5-config that offers an option to provide
32- vs 64-bit output, and it wouldn't have any way to know intrinsically
which bittedness we're asking it for.  So maybe there are missing pieces in
both what we ask it and what it can tell us...
