If you have glibc-2.3.1 then none of the software written by djb will compile because of an incompatible declaration of errno.

Here you can find patches correcting this problem.

To use the patches

From the top distribution directory, apply the appropriate errno patch with -p1. So, for example, for mess822, you would do

tar zxvf mess822-0.58.tar.gz
cd mess822-0.58
patch -p1 < /path/to/mess822-0.58.errno.patch

In case of daemontools, you need the following adjustment:

tar zxvf daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
cd admin/daemontools-0.76
patch -p1 /path/to/daemontools-0.76.errno.patch

Notes

ucspi-tcp:

        in addition to the errno patch, there is the a_record patch.
        It allows you to specify the error that will be returned
        for a zone that has only A records in it.

ucspi-tcp-0.88.nodefaultrbl.patch:

        This patch changes the behavior of rblsmtpd so that if  
        no `-r' flag is given, than instead of falling back to 
        rbl.maps.vix.com as the default RBL, rblsmtpd assumes 
        that no RBL is to be used.
