--- Comment #3 from Matthias Andree <mandree at FreeBSD.org> ---
It appears I can reproduce this on FreeBSD 12.0 with krb5-1.17. 
This report seems related,
https://www.mail-archive.com/kerberos@mit.edu/msg04772.html - where Sam Hartman
mentions "That's an internal API.  IT seems highly unlikely that fetchmail
actually wants des_string_to_key.  I suspect it should look for some more
reasonable symbol depending on what it is trynig to do."

Might be that the upstream code needed some updating. Seems that it is trying
to guess which libraries to pull in, when these days it might be better to just
run krb5-config.

Upon closer inspection, it would seem that the new patch that got pulled in in
[2] triggers a regeneration of the configure script, which then clobbers cy@'s
fix [3] that patched configure directly...
