Yes, it didn't seem to make sense, but there were no other changes
around this.

This continues to not make sense since you didn't need any darwin line
before and your message implies that you think the change is on our
side, and that you built 3.14.0 without problems on your unchanged
system, (which now seems to not be the case).

That's not blowing up, that's just telling you that you need to
specifically disable libetpan support if you don't want or need NNTP
or IMAP.

(BTW, you must be subscribed to post, so please don't send a response
to me and the list. Just the list is fine.)
