Building OpenSSH fails when '--with-kerberos5' in the default configuration

Building OpenSSH fails when '--with-kerberos5' in the default configuration

[Matt D.]

I downloaded the source for Cygwin's OpenSSH package and attempted to 
build it with the defaults:

cygport openssh.cygport prep
cygport openssh.cygport compile

This resulted in the following compile errors:

Modifying openssh.cygport by removing "--with-kerberos5" allows compilation.

I have all of the applicable Kerberos packages:

$cygcheck -c | grep -i krb
libgssapi_krb5_2          1.15.2-1                OK
libkrb5-devel             1.15.2-1                OK
libkrb5_3                 1.15.2-1                OK
libkrb5support0           1.15.2-1                OK

Am I missing something?
