That appears to be a garbled version of the error from this statement in
the buildconfig program:

        printf("\n*** User \"%s\" (specified one of the Makefiles) does not "
          "exist.\n    Please review your build-time configuration.\n\n",
          user);


That suggests that the final line of the "user" variable is a carriage
return. Gulp! That value is obtained from EXIM_USER in your
Local/Makefile. I suggest:

(1) A double check of Local/Makefile for spurious control characters.

(2) Next time, send the output of the make to a file so you can see if
there are any funny characters there (that disappear on the screen).
