Thanks, Russ, for the explanations and the recommendation.

And thanks, Sebastian, for filing #1068258.

Authen::Krb5 has a bunch of stuff that dates from the pre-GSS-API era of
Kerberos, and there were other things that at one point got me to start
writing my own version of the same idea (although alas I never finished).
In theory, one could delete the pieces of the module that try to do things
that no one should really be doing from Perl and the rest of it remains
somewhat useful, but given that upstream has archived the project, I would
go ahead and remove it.

Maybe someday I'll dust off and finish a proper Kerberos Perl module that
uses the modern C API.  In my copius free time.  :)

I'm by far not any expert on C code and gcc flags; but yes, given the
above findings and unless someone more knowledgeable steps up in the
next couple of week, I think we have to remove libauthen-krb5-perl
(and libauthen-krb5-admin-perl).

Cheers,
gregor

Not sure there are many chances to fix this (short of disabling
-Werror=implicit-function-declaration). Cf. also in Fedora:
