libdb.a
So previous versions of kerberos included a static lib called libdb.a, that
one of our developers used.
I've noticed that in the 1.4 series this no longer exists...
I don't see anything in the README about this, where did it go? I sthere a
replacement?

It's still in our tree, and linked into the programs that access the
Kerberos database directly, but we're no longer installing it. We
don't want to be in the business of supporting a general-purpose
database package.
What we're (still) using is an old version of the Berkeley/Sleepycat
database package, with some bug fixes. (We can't update because of
licensing issues.) You might want to check the Sleepycat web site,
and/or look up the BDB sources in your favorite open-source OS
distribution.
Or, you could tweak the Kerberos sources to install the db library on
your system ... but if you run into problems with db unrelated to its
use in the KDC and related programs we ship, we don't support it.

Erm, no, I mean it's not _built_, from the source directory:
[phil@metallica krb5-1.4.1]$ find . -name 'libdb*'
./src/util/db2/libdb.exports
./OBJ/5.9/util/db2/libdb.so
./OBJ/5.9/util/db2/libdb.so.1.1
./OBJ/5.9/util/db2/libdb.so.1
./OBJ/5.9/lib/libdb.so.1.1
./OBJ/5.9/lib/libdb.so
./OBJ/5.9/lib/libdb.so.1
[phil@metallica krb5-1.4.1]$ find . -name '*.a'
./OBJ/5.9/util/ss/libss.a
./OBJ/5.9/util/pty/libpty.a
./OBJ/5.9/lib/apputils/libapputils.a
./OBJ/5.9/lib/libss.a
./OBJ/5.9/lib/libpty.a
./OBJ/5.9/lib/libapputils.a
./OBJ/5.9/appl/telnet/libtelnet/libtelnet.a
[phil@metallica krb5-1.4.1]$
The shared version is there, the static version doesn't exist...

Oh. Hrm, I thought we were linking it in statically. Sorry. I
must've been thinking of one of the other libraries.
For 1.4, we did change the default to be to build shared libraries
only, for the libraries we install. (Libraries we only want to link
into our own applications are built static-only, unless we need the
shared object files to go into other libraries. I think this is the
case with db.) If you configure with --enable-static that'll turn on
the .a builds for libraries we install.
