I don't know much about Solaris, but on GNU/Linux you need to compile
applications with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE if they
should be able to handle files > 2GiB. These flags are already used in
OS/Makefile-GNU, -Linux etc., so it depends on which Makefile you use to
compile Exim.

This is already answered, but I doubt that it helps you with anything.
It's just the code from errno, the human readable description is printed
just after it (as received from strerror()).
