Comment (by gdt):

 Sorry for the delay - I tried to reply by mail and realized that isn't
 supported in trac.

 The NetBSD pkgsrc entry has patch that includes sys/param.h:

 http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/chat/libpurple/patches/patch-
 ab?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

 I think the correct overall fix is:

 autoconf check for sys/types.h sys/param.h as well as sys/sysctl.h
 Before using sysctl.h, includes sys/types.h if present, and then
 sys/param.h if present, in that order.

 So similar to Marcus's patch, but conditionalize sys/types.h inclusion,
 and also adjust where sys/sysctl.h is actually included.
