Now the config is:

    config RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5
        tristate "Secure RPC: Kerberos V mechanism"
        depends on SUNRPC
        default y
        select SUNRPC_GSS
        select CRYPTO
        select CRYPTO_SKCIPHER
        select CRYPTO_HASH

Perhaps the 'default y' should be removed?

Chuck, do you know why it's there?
