Quote from Timo on this:
MySQL library is being stupid and exporting symbols that can easily conflict with symbols created by the programs using the library.
I'm not sure if MySQL has fixed this already or not. Maybe upgrading the library might help. If not, I'd suggest complaining to MySQL people about this since it most likely won't be causing problems to just Dovecot.
Alternatively you can just change all Dovecot's sha1_result symbols in source code to something else.
If you need a patch to change the dovecot symbols let me know.
