qmail compile problem

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Hello,
If you are using glibc 2.3.1 or later, the compile will bomb out with an
error like this due to a declaration error. To fix it, you need to install a
couple of patches. If you like, I can either send you the patches or the
source code itself with the patches already applied.
