There's some a little more info in PR: ports/145769, although the "fix" that I 
suggest there is almost certainly a wrong turn (I nuked all reference to MD2_* 
from libhx509, there).  I can't easily recreate the problem, now that I've 
patched my copy of /usr/src/kerberos5/lib/libhx509/Makefile, but the fault 
seems to be fairly consistent in the configure script of any port configured to 
use GSSAPI, such as fetchmail or evolution-data-server.  From memory, the 
failing program is a one-line main() that calls MD2_Init(), and attempts to 
link it with a command line derived from `krb5-config --lib gssapi`.

That is what /usr/lib/libhx509.so.10 seems to do (see the undefined refs to 
MD2_* with nm /usr/lib/libhx509.a, and see the lack of dependency on 
/lib/libcrypto.so.6 with ldd), and yet this hasn't been widely reported, I 
suspect, because it still seems to work in 8-STABLE.  Don't know why.

The exact command that fails, in summary, is:

get a 9-current system.
cd /usr/ports/mail/fetchmail (or /usr/ports/databases/evolution-data-server, 
but that has lots of other dependencies that might take a while to build)
make config # and tell it to enable GSSAPI (and NTLM) which isn't the default.
make
# watch the configure fail with a report of missing KRB5, but inspection of the 
configure.log will show that the real failure was a failure to link against the 
system-supplied shared libraries, specifically libhx509.so.

Repeat the process on an 8-STABLE system and see that the config and build 
proceeds successfully, despite the fact that libhx509.so.10 has undefined 
symbols for MD2_* just as on -current.

Please let me know if there's any other info that I can provide.

Cheers,
