I’m trying to create a single-file binary to run on Linux; however, it does not include all libraries. I’m unclear why the Kerberos library is needed.

To reproduce:

➜  dotnet --version
5.0.100
➜  dotnet new console -o single-file
The template "Console Application" was created successfully.

➜  cd single-file

As you can see, libgssapi_krb5.so.2 was not included.

Due to -p:PublishSingleFile=true, I would expect the application to be a statically linked library instead of a dynamically linked one.
