Hello Ian,

Thank you for this explanation.
To be honest, I do not know how anything strange is happening in this
process.
I simply log into the system and:
#sudo su
#tar yxf exim-XXX.tar.xz
#cd exim-XXX
#cp src/EDITME Local/Makefile [I then edit the Local/Makefile to customize
what I need. That's usually not much actually]
#make [if this completed successfully, then]
# stop the running Exim processes
#make install
At this juncture I sit there watching the mainlog/paniclog for some minutes
to see if anything strange pops up...
There is nothing else that I have ever done, except this time round I had
to add a few lines to Local/Makefile, which were meant to make clang be
used as the compiler.
CC=clang
CXX=clang++
CPP=clang-cpp

If anything, I am entirely blank about what would cause the replacement of
in Makefile-FreeBSD or even how to preserve anything from it in my env.
