The --with-gssapi configure flag is only required if you have a 
non-standard header location, or some weird setup as on SuSE.  From what 
I understand though, even that is broken so the flag will be getting 
work done on it soon.

The negotiateauth extension is enabled for both our Mozilla and Firefox 
packages, and has been working for me when I used it in the past.  Is 
there a specific case where it breaks for you?  If so, that would be a bug.
