We're going to get into trouble with security support there in the long
run, which for Kerberos libraries doesn't seem like a good idea (even
though the Kerberos libraries themselves rarely have security issues).
Also, shipping a static library that's not compatible with the shared
library seems like a bad idea.

I'm fairly sure it doesn't work.
