I was trying to compile 3.02 on my Linux (Debian) box. Seems
bash (v2.02.1(1)-release) choked on a few bits in the top Makefile.
'make makefile' gave the following error:
>>> Creating links to source files...
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `../scripts/Configure-Makefile'
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: `cd build-${build:-`/bin/sh scripts/os-type`-`/bin/sh scripts/arch-type`}; /bin/rm -f Makefile; (HELL) ../scripts/Configure-Makefile'
make: *** [makefile] Error 2
The error is in exim-3.02.tar.gz currently on the ftp site not sure about

Guess earlier versions of bash aren't so picky.
