On a network with Kerberos v4 or AFS, it obtains a TGT for later attack
with KRB4_fmt.c. I doubt that it'd work for current deployments, though.
Quite possibly, no one will ever use this anymore. I was in a "merge
all patches into jumbo" mode when this got in. ;-)

It is built on all platforms, but the extra libraries are only needed on
Solaris because having basic networking functions separated from libc
into these libraries is Solaris-specific.

I call them make targets.

Right, that's what we were discussing so far.

You're missing the point behind LDFLAGS_MKV: it is program-specific, not
target-specific. An equivalent would be LDFLAGS_TGTSNARF or LDFLAGS_NET
(in case we ever have more programs requiring the networking functions),
not LDFLAGS_SOLARIS. And you'd add this new LDFLAGS_TGTSNARF or
LDFLAGS_NET to the build line for tgtsnarf, for all make targets (not
only Solaris), but you'd define it to empty string by default and
override it to the proper libs on Solaris. However, as I've mentioned
in the previous message on this topic, there's little point in doing
this because we already have a similar "problem" for -lcrypto and some
other libs, which we're not solving. We could solve all of these, but
it's not something to discuss (a possible discussion would be a waste of
time; I'd rather make the changes on my own if I ever choose to do so).

This is not substantially different from your Option 1. Also, -lrt is a
Solaris-specific option as well, so it'd need to get into LDFLAGS_SOLARIS
in your example.

Either is fine. They don't differ in what they achieve (unlike possible
per-program LDFLAGS, which would actually result in differently-linked
binaries). I'll let you choose between your Option 1 and a revision of
your Option 2 where -lrt would go into LDFLAGS_SOLARIS as well.
Thanks,
