Subject: [exim] 4.94.2+taintwarn branch failing to comile
Hello,

I am compiling Exim 4.94.2+taintwarn branch and it is failing with a
compile error (below). I am able to compile 4.94.2 without any issues,
but then again it doesn't have the taintwarn patch. That was my little
test to ensure my build environment is working.


I haven't see any other user run into this issue on the mailing list. I
am running CentOS 7.9, I downloaded this branch just a few days ago.
