Version QGIS 3.26

Summary

I work on MacOS Ventura 13.2. I try to add a PostGIS layer. The PostgreSQL db is on a distant server with Kerberos authentication. I can already make it work with psql. I had to recompile PostgreSQL with --with-gssapi option. When I try to connect to the PostgreSQL db with QGIS I have a popup asking for id and password and a message below saying 'GSSAPI authentication not supported'. I noticed that when I do : nm -g /Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libpq.5.12.dylib | grep -i gss I don't have all the symbols that I have when I do the same with my own compiled libpq. Is the libpq in QGIS not compiled with the --with-gssapi option ? If so is it possible to compile QGIS with this option ?
