+  As of MIT KRB5 1.5, Kerberos no longer supports static linking nor
+  do the static libraries build. The reason for this is that KRB5 1.5
+  implements plugins to implement functions. GSS-API is now implemented
+  as a function. As such, the MIT Kerberos team has yet to implement
+  plugins using static libraries. Users requiring static libraries or
+  statically linked binaries are advised not to upgrade to this release
+  until MIT provides a solution for statically linked binaries.
