Hello and sorry for the late reply,

The arguments "-L-Wl,-rpath -L-Wl,/usr/lib" in the libtool command line
looks suspicious. First, because I think the correct syntax is 
"-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/lib" and second because /usr/lib should already be
in the default rpath.

Did you run ./configure with any special arguments or environment
variables? Perhaps there's something relevant in config.log? Look for a
line like LDFLAGS='something', or just send it to me (off list please).

Did you install Heimdal? http://www.pdc.kth.se/heimdal/
If you make sure Heimdal's bin directory is first in $PATH or specify
the path to the Heimdal installation with --with-krb5=/path/to/heimdal
as an argument to configure, does that work better?

Arla is mostly(?) tested with Heimdal. This could be an MIT-KRB related
issue.
