Your linker was trying to be smart and didn't include i_strcmp_p()
function in imap binary, because it wasn't used anywhere in the imap
binary itself. ACL plugin needs it, but since linker dropped it it's no
longer there. The possibilities for how to fix this would be:

a) Modify linker flags so that it doesn't drop all these unused
functions.

b) Move the i_strcmp_p() code to ACL plugin.

c) Use i_strcmp_p() somewhere in IMAP code.

d) Make liblib.a a shared library instead so that the linker won't try
to drop useful stuff.

I think for now you should go with a), b) or c). The long term solution
will be d), but I wasn't really planning on doing it soon.. Hmm. Maybe
for v1.3.
