Hi Sam,
Apologies for the delay in replying. Somehow your message landed in my spam

This seems to work well for development on the host architecture and when
setting CC="gcc -mXX". It may not work so well for cross-compiling, where some
packages set CC_FOR_BUILD, BUILD_CC or some other random variable.
That said, I'd hope that cross-compilers make use of pkg-config instead of
krb5-config.mit.
Plus, cross-compiling with krb5-config.mit was impractical, due to the
hard-coded
libdir path.
I was going to suggest calling `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH`, as the
cups team did recently to solve a similar problem in cups-config [1]. But that
would
add a dependency on dpkg-dev, which may not be desirable. (And, again, there is
no
support for cross-compiling).

I see you're taking a trip through the NEW queue. So I'll need to wait for the
package
to land in Sid before I can see how you've integrated the code.
Thanks for your work on this. (And to Ben and Russ as well.)
