Really?
Are you really able to run a system with todays kernel and such an
outdated libc? (For reference: current libc is 2.15)
This really works with programs from today without problems?
This one even lacks NPTL support and will carry numerous security flaws.
I would not blame any Exim dev if such a "Frankenstein"-type system is
not deteceted and automatically supported by the build-system.
