Now, I got a problem, which was too easy to fix. I already
posted here about the problem with linking exim with libperl.so
on ELF system which use GNU ld(1) and ldd(1) (Linux-style), like
BSDI 4.0 (and later, heheh). Here is a portion of my
Local/Makefile-BSDI:
----- Cut somewhere else -----
PERL_COMMAND=/usr/local/bin/perl5
EXIM_PERL=perl.o
bsdosver != uname -r
.if ${bsdosver} >= 4.0
PERL_LIBS_TMP != ${PERL_COMMAND} -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts
PERL_LIBS = ${PERL_LIBS_TMP:M-L*:S/^-L/-Wl,-rpath,/g} ${PERL_LIBS_TMP}
.endif
----- Cut somewhere else -----
When the thing between .if and .endif was NOT commented out, the
variables PERL_CC, PERL_CFLAGS and PERL_LIBS were NOT defined in
build-BSDI*/Makefile. The problem was with the
scripts/Configure-Makefile script. Here is the patch:

This fixed the problem. I'll report my experiences with the new
exim, if there will be anything interesting.

It was state of the art, he said.
The art in this case was probably pottery.
