OpenBSD 5.5 was released on May 1 2014. In it, there appears to be
movement on deprecating arc4random_* function calls. A build client
builds all of the object files correctly, but is failing to link the
final exim binary with the following error:

I hesitate to remove the "#define HAVE_ARC4RANDOM" from the
OS/os.h-OpenBSD because I don't want to break building on the older
versions. Anybody have suggestions of how to best fix it?
