connect(), the library call, behaves differently on a
#define in the calling code? Aargh!

How do you feel about setting up, and watching, a buildfarm
animal for Illumos? We don't have one currently, and it would
catch things like this and give us a chance to work out what
sanely to do.

If it's diverging significantly from Solaris we can easily
add a new build target, given a way of identifying the platform.

You need to be able to run the testsuite, as a start.
Contact me offlist (mail, or irc on freenode #exim) for help.
