It appears the issue is MySQL 8.0.13 apparently(?) removed the mysql_init
symbol.

poudriere logs:
http://home.lerctr.org:8888/jail.html?mastername=p120amd64-host-ports

the first build is 8.0.12, the 2nd is 8.0.13.

Can the dovecot guys look as well?  I've sent a note to the MySQL
maintainer for FreeBSD as well.

Thanks.
