I have it compiled with 5.6.1 under Solaris 8, and it runs my test
script OK.

That's an Exim header that is nothing to do with Perl. The very first
line in perl.c is #include "exim.h".

Did it compile other modules previously? Because if so, this is really
weird. All Exim modules include exim.h.

MAX_NAMED_LIST should end up being defined in config.h, which is built
as part of the building process. Start by checking that.
