What moron put that there? oh wait, it was me :-)
Actually it's been there for a while and there's a reason for it: it
prevents name clash problems with Heimdal's libroken.
Unfortunately, when I added that helper function to the OpenBSD version,
I picked the same name, thus the problem.
Just removing it will reintroduce the libroken problem, but changing the
name should sort both out. I'm about to commit the following which should
do the job.
Thanks.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
