Hello Steinar,
I'm not clear what you are looking to patch?

It should be possible to improve the parsing in aclocal/kerberos5.m4
to handle this situation.  Is that what you are looking for?

In hindsight, it probably makes more sense to use the version number
in aclocal/kerberos5.m4 to set feature-specific definitions rather
than continue to pass along the parsed version number.  (The version
number is currently used to determine which method to use to tell the
Kerberos library where to find the credentials.)

K.C.
