[exim] build problems

Hi

(I normally am chad@??? but my smtp server is down at the moment and is the reason for this post)

I screwed something on on my SmartOS (Solaris) based system that was running exim4. I updated some system librarues and my existing build was not finding the stuff it was looking for. I wanted to update to the latest anyway and I use my own build due to some site specific stuff I build in. I got the latest 4.94.2 and am trying to do a “make” on it.

I am getting a bunch of basic errors that look like language errors…    I have tried with gcc49, gcc6, and gcc9

This is what I am seeing (and a lot more) and I am not sure what to do next. I would expect that the default codebase should build with gcc.
