Description Paranoid Ted 2013-01-05 20:50:00 UTC 
When trying to rebuild sendmail with SASLv2 according to
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html
the build process stops with the following error:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/src/sasl.c: In function 'sm_sasl_init':
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/src/sasl.c:141: warning: passing argument 1 of 'sasl_set_alloc' from incompatible pointer type
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/src/sasl.c:141: warning: passing argument 2 of 'sasl_set_alloc' from incompatible pointer type
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/src/sasl.c:141: warning: passing argument 3 of 'sasl_set_alloc' from incompatible pointer type
*** [sasl.o] Error code 1


in the following step:
#cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
# make cleandir && make obj && make && make install

Fix: 

There is a proposed fix here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=203528

"changed line 141 in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/src/sasl.c to:
sasl_set_alloc((sasl_malloc_t *)sm_sasl_malloc, (sasl_calloc_t *)sm_sasl_calloc,
(sasl_realloc_t *)sm_sasl_realloc, (sasl_free_t *)sm_sasl_free);"

N.B. The error manifests itself on i386 but it may not happen on amd64.
How-To-Repeat: Follow steps 1-5 from
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html

The error happens on step 5.
