There is a problem building courier-1.5.1 (older releases as well) on
FreeBSD, starting after recent update of courier-unicode.

Excerpt from build log:

(Full log is 360 kB, available on request, I'd rather not spam this
mailing list with it.)

I built courier-1.4.1 before courier-unicode update just fine. Other
packages, namely courier-unicode-2.4.0, courier-authlib-base-0.72.5, and
courier-authlib-userdb-0.72.5 build just fine. Any idea what I could do
to fix the issue?

Milan
