Dear me! I misread the requirements and thought it was necessary from 
4.11 onward, whatever Kerberos implementation was being used...

I should have taken more time reading thoroughly your blog post! The 
good side is that I learned a few more things on rpm packaging...

I does make building 4.11 definitely much easier on CentOS7... And by 
next year CentOS8, which ships gnutls 3.6.5, will get traction when the 
new and shiny samba 4.12 will be released!

Thanks for the input!

Denis
