Hmm, 7896 != 8448.

def-check.pl has a "verbose output" mode, so you could try

perl -w ../util/def-check.pl -v private-and-public-decls ../lib/krb5_32.def

You should probably also post the contents of your
private-and-public-decls and krb5_32.def files, just in case something is
not right with their contents.

That's only useful as an argument to the 'configure' script, which is not
used for windows builds.
