I'm forwarding this to the ports list. Obviously someone needs to look in to the libspfs port and fix the problem with it.

Is this likely to be the case if I installed from the port? If so, how do I get
around it? And any suggestions about spawn?

Thanks

 It doesn't seem likely to me that this is the problem,

To me either. I ran into a problem a while back with Postfix, and that's the same answer they gave me. It turned out to be a problem with SPF. Once I deselected that, postfix compiled fine.

Ah, I think they are connected. I had a response off list that suggested
adding -DPREPEND_PLUS_TO_OPTSTRING to  MAKEFILEFLAGS in the postfix
makefile. A google on this led me to a suggestion from Wietse that this
hack is unnecessary and "Perhaps you linked Postfix with some
third-party library (SSL? SASL? SQL?) that includes its own
brain-damaged getopt() routine."

Digging a bit deeper, I spotted a suggestion that SPF might be that
third-party library, so recompiled without that option and bingo! It all
works again.
