This brings up a nit I have had with almost all packages that build 
shared libs. They all assume that they can derived the -rpath from 
the -L or they don't support -rpath. (or -R or what ever.)
This is not always the case, and it may leave build directories in the
-rpath which could be a security risk.  

If you are making changes in this area, consider adding a configure
option to allow one to specify the -rpath to be used. 

This in not as critical with Kerberos, as it does not depend on
any other packages. But packages like OpenSSH depend on OpenSSL,
Kerberos, wrapper, etc. And it is common to build and install them
as a group. 
      
Just an idea.
