Hello,

I can duplicate this build failure on Fedora 29 (though not on Debian
9.9). Please try the following patch, and test Kermit if possible.
(We may want to fix this differently in pkgsrc, but this should get it
to build for you. Kermit is assuming a particular incarnation of glibc
indicates a Linux environment, which doesn't hold true.)
