Hmm, I think this is because there's a typo in our misc.h header file
(it was checking HAVE_STRLCPY instead of HAVE_STRLCAT), and because of
the typo it always defines a prototype for strlcat(), even when the
system provides that function. And that prototype then conflicts with
the one from the system headers.

I've pushed a fix to that, I hope it fixed the build for you.
