No. I think it was an Intel box.

No! No! No! You are going about this in the *wrong way*. Those macros
should be defined in config.h which is built by the building script from
the contents of your Local/Makefile and src/config.h.defaults.

Also, hacking code is a *bad plan*. Exim is still developing and new
releases come out regularly. You don't want to have to do this every
time.

Please send me (off list) the contents of your Local/Makefile, and the
result of trying to build Exim *from a clean distribution* and I'll see
if I can figure out why it hasn't built config.h correctly. It should do
this by building a program called buildconfig and running it. (You could
also send me the config.h that it did build.)

Yup, its $OSTYPE which gets set to a zillion different things. I will
nevertheless update the basic script.
