I had the same problem and your suggested workaround did allow me to build 
1.4.1 successfully.  However, after I installed it, I got the following 
error running kinit:

  Assertion failed: (k5int_i->did_run != 0), function krb5int_initialize_library,
  file krb5_libinit.c, line 60.
  Abort (core dumped)

Any ideas about this?  I'm also running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE.

I have been building and installing MIT K5 for years, mostly on Solaris 
platforms, but also (a long time ago) on FreeBSD as well.  This is the 
first time I've had this kind of problem.

Thanks.

Mike
