What's happening is that you're trying to install (and build) a nodejs
addon that
is compatible with a version of node-nan that is not compatible with the
nodejs
version in debian/jessie (0.10).
You could try to downgrade the nan module, or try to compile `kerberos`
addon
using node-nan package only (just remove node_modules/nan), but it will
probaby fail.

A quick and dirty workaround would be to apply that patch to the v8 header
/usr/include/v8.h...
--- a/include/v8.h
+++ b/include/v8.h

-    PRESERVE_ASCII_NULL = 4
+    PRESERVE_ASCII_NULL = 4,
