Hello there.

i'm trying to build Exim 4.69 on Slackware 11 system from source code but run
into the following problem:

> make[2]: Entering directory

I tried to Google for any information that could help solve the problem and
figured EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-ldl in Local/Makefile might help. It turned out
adding EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-ldl didn't exactly helped solve the problem but
actually lead to generation of another, different error message:

> gcc regex.c
> gcc spam.c
> gcc spool_mbox.c
> gcc demime.c
> gcc bmi_spam.c
> gcc spf.c
> gcc srs.c
> gcc dk.c
> gcc dkim-exim.c

So, my question is what goes wrong here and how can it be fixed?
