argh! This is especially annoying, since I has `EPROTO' there first, but
removed it because OpenBSD didn't define it (EPROTO is in some XSR
extension to POSIX 2001 or something). I've chosen `EILSEQ' instead,
because it's in C99..

Oh well, thanks for the pointer, I'll add appropriate preprocessor
checks..

That's weird.. According to C99, `isnan' is exported by <math.h> which
is loaded in that file. That the compiler reports `isnanf' here is a
sign that the libc already did some magic. This feels like a bug in
FreeBSD's libc, to be honest..

Could you please provide the output of the following grep:

  $ grep NAN src/config.h | egrep '^#'

Hm, there currently isn't a configure flag to disable the client
libarary (the problem is not in a plugin..). I'll add that, so that you
can do something like `./configure --disable-libcollectdclient'.

Not FreeBSD, but Mac OS X works for what it's worth. Don't know how
similar exactly the FreeBSD and Mac OS X userland is, but as far as I
know there is *some* similarity ;)
