I have been using dovecot for a long time and haven't seen this before. I just checked and rebuilt dovecot-2.3.21 and had no problems.
Any ideas?

Can you see if diff --git a/src/lib/mountpoint.c b/src/lib/mountpoint.c index 3d2150ec6e..816d0d6f54 100644 --- a/src/lib/mountpoint.c +++ b/src/lib/mountpoint.c @@ -27,6 +27,7 @@ # include <stdio.h> # include <sys/mnttab.h> /* Solaris */ # include <sys/mntent.h> +# include <sys/mkdev.h> # define MOUNTPOINT_SOLARIS #else # define MOUNTPOINT_UNKNOWN helps?
