Yeah, I see the same on my laptop. So we can't trust krb5-config
unconditionally. But we could do something like checking
"-x $config_prefix . '/bin/kinit'" before believing it's good,
and maybe also check sbin/krb5kdc. We'd want to use similar
probes to decide which of the fallback directories to use, anyway.
