The bug where gss_acquire_cred() returns the status code of the final 
mech was fixed in release 1.11 (ticket #6973).  The fix might be easily 
backportable to 1.10:

There are two bugs affecting SPNEGO's ability to display 
gss_acquire_cred() errors, which were fixed in releases 1.11 (no 
ticket) and 1.12.1 (ticket #7045).  These fixes are not as easily 
backported, but you might not need them.

Release 1.10 is no longer supported, as we only support releases for 
two years.  We also cannot promise urgent support.
