Well, tried with or without patches, but got still same error:
sha1.h:80: error: static or type qualifiers in abstract declarator
For what it's worth, I get the same error compiling on Solaris 10. It may be because I have a rather old gcc (3.4.4). Editing out the "static" keyword from config.h allowed it to finish the compile.
It still happened even with https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/d9c865ce774aae9f2f17b89e7e94c3cfca29d...
You need to rerun autotools on this before it can do anything.
I don't grok autotools, but I don't think this will solve the problem. If I understand the patch correctly, it modifies the small program used by configure to test a C99 feature.
Manually compiling the small test program (with and without the changes made by the patch) will result in a successful compile, but if you compile sha1.h (line 80,81), it will fail.
I've reduced the problem to this:
void foo(int X[static 20]);will compile but if you remove "X", it won't.
