Ah !  I see it now :)

Want to download e-mail to my NetBSD laptop which has only Pine and W3M 
installed for mail and web pages.  No X-windows.  I have to use SSL to 
do that with something like Fetchmail.

I've wasted weeks trying to get Fetchmail to build.  Finally checked my 
work by getting hold of the source code from Eric Raymond's site only to 
get the same error message..

All suggestions have so far failed to solve this strange compilation 
problem.
