Good.  My mistake.  Changing the symlink sounds like a reasonable idea.  I 
don't know for sure that it'll work, but it's certainly worth a try.  It 
might be a good idea to rename the current symlink (rather that remove it) 
in case the change doesn't work out.

Once you get bogofilter build, be sure to run "make check" so that you can 
verify that _your_ build is working properly.

Good luck.
