The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 3927
Logged by: Christian Ullrich
Email address: chris(at)chrullrich(dot)net
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.0
Operating system: FreeBSD 6.3
Description: configure --with-gssapi fails
Details:

./configure --with-gssapi fails when checking for gss_init_sec_context.

Apparently, the reason is that an incomplete list of libraries is passed to
the compiler. I managed to make it work by adding

-lasn1 -lroken -lcom_err

to the command line in configure.in .

My mistake. I should have been using the heimdal port instead of the
ancient release in the base system.

So, how ancient is it? Is there any reason we should try to make
--with-gssapi work with it?

There are good reasons to encourage people to use gssapi only with
recent versions of the underlying libraries, eg
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430983
so I'm happy to treat this as not-worth-fixing if it really isn't.

It's version 0.6.3, released in September 2004, according to the change
log. I don't know whether it would be worth it to make it work, but I
doubt it.

The FreeBSD port has been using the ports collection's heimdal instead
of the base system's at least since 8.0. The reason given in the port
is

It isn't for me.
