The "--without-tls" option is meaningless for Kerberos.

That's normal.  Some of the compiler invocations in the configure  
script are expected to fail; that's how it tests for various system  
properties, or tests the compiler itself to ensure that certain  
properties (like whether certain header files exist on the system)  
can be detected by looking for errors reported by the compiler.

You need to include a bit more of the output than that -- a few lines  
before this would be plenty.  These lines just indicate that because  
the linker noticed a problem (which should have been reported just  
before this), make is giving up in that directory.

... and the invocations of make in parent directories give up too.
