[Dovecot] Unable to build dovecot 2.0.8 on Ubuntu Server 9.10

[David Warden]

 Based on the "i486" in your libtool line, could you be experiencing 
 this problem:

 Basically it looks like there's an issue with glibc 2.10 on 32-bit 
 systems causing a problem when linking fallocate64. Not if you can/need 
 to apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade to fix.
