I have tested it on my RedHat8 machine. I could not get it to work.

Some minor issues:
The configuration only adds HAVE_KERBEROS and HAVE_HEIMDAL_KERBEROS to 
epan/config.h and not config.h    should it not go into config.h as well?
I changed packet-kerberos.c to include "epan/config.h" instead of "config.h" 
and packet-kerberos.c compiled.

On my test machine I had MIT Kerberos installed but not Heimdal.
The configure script mistook this for being Heimdal and thus tried to build
it using the Heimdal API. Which failed.
krb5-config --all :
 Version:     Kerberos 5 release 1.2.5
 Vendor:      Massachusetts Institute of Technology
 Prefix:      /usr/kerberos
 Exec_prefix: /usr/kerberos
Since MIT Kerberos is reasonably popular the configure script should check 
that it is in fact heimdal we have and not mit.


After configure has completed it should print a line:
        Use Heimdal Kerberos libraries  : yes

After that it fails during linking of libethereal.so.0.0.1
