Hello,

just to provide some background:
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/security-technologies-fortifysource

So, yes there probably is a issue. However more info is needed (backtrace,
etc.) building exim with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is not sufficient to reproduce
this, e.g. Debian's exim packages have been built with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 for
more than ten years. (I do not get why you are building with fPIC, though,
should you be using PIE instead for an executable?)
