I’m a newbie, trying to familiarize myself with the source code, however, once I followed the steps outlined here https://mariadb.org/get-involved/getting-started-for-developers/get-code-build-test/ to build the server on Mac OS X, currently the MAKE fails on me complaining about a deprecated GSSAPI.h as follows:

/mariadb/server/libmariadb/plugins/auth/gssapi_client.c:72:12: error: 'gss_import_name' is deprecated: use GSS.framework [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations]

major= gss_import_name(&minor, &principal_name_buf, GSS_C_NT_USER_NAME, &service_name);
