The C standard has been in existence for well over 10 years now. Exim is
written in standard C, which allows pre-processor statements (those
beginning with #) not to start in column 1. Compilers that don't support
the standard are just a plain nuisance.
Having said that, I seem to recall that there is some option for the
Tru64 compiler that turns on "standard" handling (something like -a or
-ansi, but I can't actually remember). Why this isn't the default I
cannot imagine.
