0xd is F_SETLK64. It looks like your kernel and/or glibc do(es)n't support
64-bit file access. Exim compiles with 64-bit file access enabled by default.
Red Hat 7.0 is very old and will have accumulated a large number of security
holes by now. Your best bet would be to upgrade to Red Hat 7.3 (which is
supported by the Fedora-Legacy project at
www.fedoralegacy.org). If you can't
upgrade, try removing -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE from
OS/Makefile-Linux.
