More verbose messages are in config.log; search for "checking for
mi_stop in -lmilter", and paste in the next 20 or so lines (or attach
the whole log as an attchment; it should be small).  It could be that
your system needs another library for libmilter to link (which means
another test like the strlcpy one), or it could be some other error.
