I'm not the one who's overriding anything! The default ports build does this!
The question now is, do we change /ports/mail/postfix/Makefile to force -lc
for this port, or is there a fundamental change required in bsd.port.mk?
(What I am saying is that it would be _really nice_ to get postfix to work
out-of-the-box instead of getting it borken by linking to libgnugetopt by
default).
