That is harmless.

That is nothing to do with Exim; it's all in your system's header files.
It may well be causing trouble, but I have no idea what it is about.
Exim does not use IFF_PRIORITY anywhere.

Sigh. This one has caused trouble before. It may be fixable by putting
an appropriate definition for SOCKLEN_T in the system configuration
file. It's possible this may cause trouble.

Don't know if this matters or not.

That should be fixable by an appropriate definition of ICONV_ARG2_TYPE
in the system-dependent file. Clearly this has caused trouble on other
systems, leading to the creation of a system-dependent setting.

I will look at these further when I get some time (I've been away and
there is a lot to catch up). I can't see why any of them should prevent
a daemon start-up, though.
