Those aren't build errors - we test whether those flags are supported by the compiler, and use them only if they are.

Ditto - we test whether you appear to have Heimdal Kerberos and, if so, use it. We also test for MIT Kerberos, and use that if it's available (if both are installed, which is chosen depends on the order in which we test them); if neither are available, we don't use either (which means some stuff can't be dissected).

No, it means you should show us the actual configuration *errors*, so we know what's going wrong. Show the output of CMake, *not* the contents of CMakeError.log.
