The configure correctly detects libbsd and those functions, however, the macro HAVE_LIBBSD is never defined in this process. The compile then fails with "implicit declaration" error, as the libbsd includes are not loaded from replace.h. When defining this macro manually, everything is fine.

Hi,

I don't know what needs to be done here, but just wanted to say that I
experienced strlcat, strlcpy problems when compiling libXfont master
branch on Arch as well.

I can not build it from commit 2178c7445a on.

Cheers
Roman
