on BSD you must use gmake if you want to use GNU make and not BSD make.
I tried compiling on OpenBSD7.8 too. Here is what I did:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
export AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.72
export AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.18
export LIBTOOL=glibtool
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
./autogen.sh &&
./configure \
--enable-maintainer-mode \
--with-sql=yes \
--with-mysql \
--with-pgsql \
--enable-experimental-mail-utf8 \
--with-pcre2
gmake -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
doas gmake install
And here is where it fails:
<cut>
gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/home/wash/Dovecot/dovecot/src/lib-doveadm'
