gss test suite failure with Kerberos5

[Theodoros V. Kalamatianos]

Hi,

I am trying to package GNU gss for my Linux system, but I am getting a 
failure in the test suite. In particular the krb5context test always 
fails. I have tried gss-0.0.17, as well as gss-20060518.tar.gz from the 
CVS snapshots with the same results. I have attached the log of running 
that particular test. I am using the latest gnutls, gsasl, shishi, 
libgpg-error e.t.c. stable releases, but even slightly older versions 
produced the same error. I am currently running on glibc-2.4 and 
gcc-3.4.1.

Is this failure important ? Is there a fix/workaround ? I would try to 
track this down myself, but I have rather limited knowledge on 
cryptography, let alone gss internals. I'll be happy to provide any 
additional information, though.

Thanks in advance,

Theodoros Kalamatianos
