I think this should be applied and warrants yet-another rc.
Specifically, since it fixes not just freebsd but also potentially
fixes other platforms we haven't tested yet, it seems important.  For
5.2.1 I'd like to see the configure test expanded so we could turn
some of the support back on if the struct member was tested, but doing
that now is way too late and thus that level of test should wait.  I
hate to do yet another rc and delay, but I hate shipping non-compiling
code even more.

Any other opinions?

It is unlikely I'll release 5.2 today (probably tomorrow night instead
if no one else votes in favor of this delay), but I could do a rc4
quickly enough.
