I stand corrected (by myself!). It is not a libtool bug. It is a
Heimdal bug. In short, the convenience library is getting built with
-static, which forces libtool to link the wrong files into libkrb5.so.

The attached patch fixes the problem. This has the side affect that
the static version of libkrb5 is created with PIC code (now that is a
libtool bug :-( ), but I don't think that is such serious issue.
