Ah! You modified db.h. That is of course not part of Exim, but part of
DB 1.85. I have recently had a communication from the DB maintainers
which asked me to encourage Exim users to use DB 2.x rather than DB 1.x
because they are discontinuing maintenance of DB 1.x, and one of the
things they pointed out was that it didn't build under Solaris 2.6.
It would be nice if somebody would write a really simple DB-style
library in ANSI C that does just the kind of things Exim wants. I would
then consider distributing it as part of Exim, to avoid (I would hope!)
all the trouble that using other DBM libraries seems to bring. This is
probably a pie-in-the-sky wish...
