That's likely a 'configure' problem (to investigate, you could look at
differences in the configure stage between your build from source and
the ports build from source - the config.log file shows what was
passed to configure).

Maybe just go back to building from the port...

cd ports/misc/amanda-server
make patch
add the lines to amflock.c
make
sudo make install
