Hi,
I downloaded krb5-1.19.1.tar.gz, and was trying to compile the static library from it.  In the src sub-directory, I issued these two commands:
$ configure --enable-static --disable-shared$ make
The second command failed with these output:
...making all in kadmin/dbutil...make[2]: Entering directory '/home/wxy/lima/build/krb5-1.19.1/src/kadmin/dbutil'gcc -L../../lib -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -g -O2   -o kdb5_util kdb5_util.o kdb5_create.o kadm5_create.o kdb5_destroy.o kdb5_stash.o import_err.o strtok.o dump.o ovload.o kdb5_mkey.o tabdump.o tdumputil.o ../cli/getdate.o -lkadm5srv_mit  -lkdb5 -lkrb5_db2 -lkadm5srv_mit -lgssrpc -lgssapi_krb5 -lgssrpc -lgssapi_krb5 -ldl -pthread  -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -lkrb5support  -lresolv  -ldl/usr/bin/ld: ../../lib/libkadm5srv_mit.a(server_kdb.o):/home/wxy/lima/build/krb5-1.19.1/src/lib/kadm5/srv/server_kdb.c:18: multiple definition of `master_keyblock'; kdb5_util.o:/home/wxy/lima/build/krb5-1.19.1/src/kadmin/dbutil/kdb5_util.c:109: first defined herecollect2: error: ld returned 1 exit statusmake[2]: *** [Makefile:664: kdb5_util] Error 1make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/wxy/lima/build/krb5-1.19.1/src/kadmin/dbutil'make[1]: *** [Makefile:8!

However, there is a work around.  If I configure and compile the default dynamic library first, then re-configure and compile the static library, it will be successful.  The following command sequence will work fine:
$ configure$ make$ configure --enable-static --disable-shared$ make
The environment is Fedora 33:

Hope someone will fix the issue for future releases.
