it seems there's another regression: even when working around the broken 
library detection by passing a "-with-ssl=$SYSROOT" configure flag, the 
libtool turns -lssl into /lib/libssl.so, because it's on old version of 
libtool that doesnt respect the --with-sysroot configure flag.

since this didnt happen with 5.02, it looks strongly as if the latest 
release was created on a different box with a way older autoconf and 
libtoolize installed than 5.02.

another issue is that -I/usr/kerberos/include is passed to the build.
this is another hardcoded and wrong path somewhere in the buildsystem 
which would break my build in case i had kerberos installed on my box.
in that case it would pull in host headers rather than headers from my 
x-compile sysroot. fortunately i don't have it.
