Yes, this is a compile time thing.  Sorry for not saying that in the
first response.

We'll take a look at compiling sendmail. I looked whether we have the
build description, and we do:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/sendmail/trunk/Makefile

This will make it easier to rebuild it. We'll talk on the maintainers@
mailing list about the rebuild.
