Yes, that looks better now.

Right, it was built against the OS-provided Kerberos installation
(/usr/bin etc.). If I build against the Homebrew-provided one then the
tests pass.

So maybe that means that this encryption feature is not supported on
that (presumably older) installation? (krb5-config --version says
"Kerberos 5 release 1.7-prerelease") Is that plausible? Is a gentler
failure mode possible?
