It would be better if there were different Makefiles for libc-5 and
glibc-2 Linux, rather than telling old version users they have to modify
the Makefiles... I've got RedHat 4.2 on my primary firewall/mail
machine, and I'm not keen on upgrading for quite a while, especially
with all the patches that have been released for RH5.0/glibc-2.0
already. Is is possible for Exim's configure script to tell the
difference between a libc5 and a libc6/glibc2 system automagically?
