If I try it, I get the error: Nono, you don't try to build SSPI on Linux- that's Microsoft's implementation of GSSAPI (more-or-less).

Your Linux system can then either join the Windows AD domain (you'll need to create a princ on the AD and then export it over to the Linux box), or set up two KDCs (one on Linux, one for AD) and then have a cross-realm trust.
