Description

I noted a problem building 5.8.0rc1 (which didn't happen on 5.8.0dr2) on FreeBSD.

Configure script detects gperf is not installed, but keep going:

checking for gperf... no
checking gperf version >= 3.0.0... not found

Then GPERF variable is empty and it fails at build stage:

Making all in libstrongswan
-N proposal_get_token_static -m 10 -C -G -c -t -D <  ./crypto/proposal/proposal_keywords_static.txt > ./crypto/proposal/proposal_keywords_static.c
/bin/sh: -N: not found
*** Error code 127

Configure script detects gperf is not installed, but keep going:

That's on purpose, because it's not required when building from a tarball. You only need it if you build from the repository, or when patching the source files, which apparently is the case here.

So either install gperf, or patch the generated files and not the source file to fix this.
