Those are the MIT kerberos libraries. I think those might be getting
pulled in via openssl which is linked with the MIT libs in which case I
don't think it's a big deal. I've been building stuff for a while like
this. I get a link warning about it but I've never seen anything bad
happen (in the end I plan to statically link though). I know there's a
--without-openssl option. I don't know what you lose using that but you
could try it temporarily just to see if the MIT kerberos deps go away.
