Sorry, I can only guess at what's going on here (except of cause that it
doesn't work).  I imagine from this excerpt of my config.log that it
should be obvious and staring me in the face.

If this has a specific mean that I should know, please tell me.

Better yet, if there is away making my build environment target the host
system with that version glibc, tell me that instead.

Indeed all I really need to know is how to build a working version of
dovecot for the qnap network attached storage device.
