Ah, actually, I don't expect them to work well at all; in fact, in
the current sources, they'll just report errors and refuse to
configure the tree. We've made some changes that assume you're using
shared libraries; the plugin support is part of it, but it's also let
us simplify some of the library-building configuration a little. You
can try doing static-only builds, but I doubt they'll work, and
they're not going to be a high priority for us to fix.
That said, if you or someone else would like to take a look at making
static builds work again, get some discussion going on the krbdev
list on whether plugins need to work, if it's sufficient for non-KDC
programs only to work, how best to deal with the AIX configs where
static and shared libraries have the same suffix, etc., and let's see
how clean the patches can be made. (IMNSHO, the existing library
build rules still need more cleanup; don't make that harder.)
