 I see that FreeBSD ports had same issue reported:
   http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=74276
 
 "Submitter says it was due to the use of -O3 in CFLAGS."
 
 And the Gentoo ebuild says:
 # -finline-functions (implied by -O3) leaves strstr() in an infinite loop.
 # To work around this, we append -fno-inline-functions to CFLAGS
          append-flags -fno-inline-functions
 
 
 Maybe try in the pkgsrc/mail/procmail/Makefile:
 
 CFLAGS+=       -finline-functions
