Right now, pam-krb5 doesn't support xlc just because I don't have an AIX
system and I don't know the right flags to pass to xlc to build a dynamic
PAM module. If you know the correct flags for AIX (or if anyone else here
does), I can easily add that case to the configure logic.

MIT Kerberos 1.6 doesn't support static builds.
