Also, if we're moving away from krb5-config, the only strong requirement
is that krb5-config work correctly on the native architecture.
We'd like it to work in other cases, but if we're OK telling people who
are cross-compiling to use pkgconfig then it's OK if krb5-config is
imperfect.
While I think we can do better, even just having unqualified
krb5-config.mit be for the native architecture would not make things
worse than today.
