Heiko,
Thank you for responding,
I was only in the build directory to troubleshoot why the build was
failing on my system. Normally I don't have any trouble with Exim.

This was just part of my troubleshooting step to pin point the trouble
point on my system.

Thank you for the hints, I will look along that line.
I was able to get a complete compile without the "undefined reference"
error by adding macro-globals.o to the lines OBJ_DUMPDB, OBJ_FIXDB and
OBJ_TIDYDB in OS/Makefile-Base.
Since I am the only one who is having this problem, the issue appears to
be local to me.
Best regards,
Paul
