GSSAPI defines a token-based interface.  While it's possible that a user
could have multiple tokens, I don't think libcurl knows how to select
different ones, so TTBOMK it will always present the same token and
hence always get the same response.

libcurl could theoretically be linked against any shared library
implementing the GSSAPI version 2.  I only know if it being used in
Kerberos and NTLM in practice.
