What I did when I encountered this was to pass to the preprocessor the
flag -I/usr/kerberok/include by setting CPPFLAGS, as in

setenv CPPFLAGS -I/usr/kerberos/include; ./configure

(csh syntax).  Took me some time to figure out the problem though, but
then I am used (sick, tired) of the RedHat "enhancements" (read:
deviations from what one would expect)--I still hurt from the
attrocious hacks I had to perform in order to obtain a "Favourites"
menu.

Now that I think of it, symlinking the Kerberos include directory to
/usr/include/kerberos should solve the problem quite nicely, though I
have not tried this (will as soon as I encounter another package built
that uses those includes).

Speaking of which, I want to pass extra CFLAGS to rpmbuild.  How in
the world do I do this?  The majority of the SRPMs I have seen just
ignore the CFLAGS environment variable.  Any suggestion or pointer to
documentation is appreciated.
