OS: Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla)
Kernel: 2.4.32
GLIBC: glibc-2.2.5-34
Exim release: 4.64

hi,

i tried to build the 4.64 release of exim on my mailserver and it failed with:

In file included from transport.c:17:
/usr/include/sys/sendfile.h:26:3: #error "<sys/sendfile.h> cannot be used with
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
make[1]: *** [transport.o] Error 1

you probably should check, whether the installed glibc version supports
sendfile with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 during the build process.
if i drop the "#define HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE" in os.h-Linux, exim builds fine.

bg,
tom.
