Description Rong-En Fan 2006-05-21 19:00:44 UTC 
On 4.x with GCC < 3.2, dovecot refuses to startup and the error is
"Fatal: Protocol imaps given more than once". This is due to we have a
old compiler GCC 2.95. Using GCC >= 3.2 will be fine. The author has
a patch to fix this (not committed into dovecot's cvs yet). For details,
please read the following mailing thread:

http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-May/013389.html

The patch is obtained from the mailing archive (mailman screwed up the
patch, you can grab from dovecot.org's mbox archive). Since this patch
is not committed into dovecot's cvs, I prefer to enable it only if base
has GCC < 3.2.

I'm running dovecot 1.0 beta8 with this patch on a 4.11 box for one day
without any problems.

Please commit the attached patch rather than that included above.
It fixes the the C89 alignment issue encountered when compiling with  
gcc-2.95 in addition to the dlerror() problem reported in ports/97671.
The patch is not conditionally applied as it will soon be removed,  
and does no harm in the C99 case.
