At the risk of sounding like one of the dill-holes that populate the 
qmail support list, you didn't read far enough.

Section 2.5.5 of LWQ gives you a link to "patches":

http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/images/dilbert2004878130521.gif


Section 5.10.1.1 says:

This patch fixes a problem with missing errno.h inclusions. See 
http://news.gmane.org/article.php?id=13960&group=gmane.mail.qmail.general 
for a detailed explanation and the patch itself.


THAT site explains the problem in more detail than *I* could follow:


But section 5.10.1 of LWQ takes you to the qmail.org site's Patches section:

http://qmail.org/top.html#patches


Where it clearly points you to Mate Wierdl's site of patches for ALL 
of Dan Bernstein's software:

http://qmail.org/moni.csi.hu/pub/glibc-2.3.1/


This includes an "instructions" doc on how to apply the patches.


It's all there, in black and white, my friend.  Click on and get started!
