The issue is that two fields in the libkafs5 dynamic symbol table is un-initialized, whether the build crashes seem to depend on the value in fields, if you are lucky the field does not have values that crash the build. [ I'm still looking at this, here's the progress so far] The asn1 library has a export map containing 'global: *', this exports two symbols _fdata and _ftext versioned. When libkafs5 is linked, these symbols confuse the bfd code and the entries corresponding to theses (index 13, and 16) are left un-initialized. One workaround I see is to change the export 'global: *' in kerberos5/lib/libasn1 to the actual list of exported symbols.
