The linker problem is a bug in the makefiles or utilities on FreeBSD, because
.so links are always created on supported platforms. This error is a
portability issue, and is not going to be fixed by me since I don't support
FreeBSD.

The compiler is either incorrectly putting sockaddr_in in the wrong
namespace, or more likely a header file isn't being included that contains
the necessary declaration, perhaps.

If you want to port this and supply a patch, feel free, but if you don't want
to or can't, then you'll have to find somebody willing to or use a supported
platform.

Shiibboleth issues go to shibboleth-users, not here.
