GSS-Proxy on the client works only with MIT 1.11 as explained, but the
patch itself does not depend on GSS-Proxy so it is safe from rpc.gssd to
include it.

GSS-Proxy doesn't really care what it the Kerberos infrastructure is
used on the KDC, so it will work with any KDC, be it MIT, Heimdal or
Active Directory.
