I don't understand why the change to no longer export strncasecmp and
strcasecmp from the ABI is supposed to make a difference here. The symbol
resolution in balsa should be identical in the existing build as in the new
build, now that gmime2.2 has dropped the symbols. Is the issue that the
previous version of gmime2.2 exported these functions with a *different
ABI* than the standard one provided by glibc?
