While trying to fix an old wishlist bug for compilation with GSSAPI in Debian (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=826230) I noticed that even with the appropriate gssapi-Headers installed (libkrb5-dev in Debian) it would not enable support for it.
./configure [...] --with-gssapi
[...]
checking gssapi/gssapi.h usability... yes
checking gssapi/gssapi.h presence... yes
checking for gssapi/gssapi.h... yes
checking for gssapi library -lgssapi... no
checking for gssapi library -lgssglue... no
checking for gssapi library -lgss... no

GSS-API (--with-gssapi) : NO
Debugging this I've found an old patch in Fedora from 2013 that tries to link to libgssapi_krb5.
This patch fixes the issue on Debian as well (renaming the .in to .ac extension in the patch). I have not actually tested GSSAPI, as I don't have the necessary infrastructure in place.
