It was trying to build a module that could be loaded for ${dlfunc
testing. I have arranged for it to build this only on systems where
-shared works, currently Linux and FreeBSD. If we find others (with
possibly other options), then can be added. When the module isn't built,
${dlfunc isn't tested, even if it is in the binary.

I've changed the test setting of never_users to use numeric ids.

I've changed the test value so that it is less than the maximum allowed
on base 36 systems.

That showed up a bug in Exim! The ${base62: expansion was changing what
it did for base 36 systems, but the ${base62d: expansion was not. I've
created a patch for Exim, and re-written the test so that it works on
both kinds of system.

This one is a mystery. Why are there 32 links to an ordinary directory
on Darwin? Solved by not outputting this particular data from stat.

This one goes along with

It is supposed not to find a host name, but after failing to find it in
its private DNS simulation, Exim was calling gethostbyaddr(), and I
deduce that you have, somewhere in your local DNS, a record for
13.12.11.10.in-addr.arpa. I have arranged for all the tests to set
host_lookup_order = bydns so that it won't ever use gethostbyaddr() when
testing. Hopefully that will fix this one.

I guess this might be common in Exims compiled with readline support.
I've arranged to ignore the line.

Thanks! (But I'd actually hit that one myself as well, once I released
4.53.)

I think I've fixed that.

Indeed. Done that.

I've changed it to use some high-bit characters for testing escaping,
thereby not confusing readline.

Not at all. Very useful indeed. Many thanks for the time. I'll be
putting out a new version of the test suite later today, hopefully one
that will run a lot better for you.
