Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:40434 maurice@…]:
 > Problem appears to be that qpopper redefines getline and clang does not
 permit this.

 It's not a compiler issue; it's an OS issue. OS X 10.7 Lion for the first
 time includes a function called "getline", but qpopper defines its own
 function of that name, and it happens to be different from the one in
 Lion, hence the error message. The fix we usually employ in other ports is
 to rename the project's getline function. In this case, qpopper is
 outdated, so I'll check if updating to the latest version would help.
