Ian's Local/Makfile end with:
CFLAGS = -O2 -fstack-protector-strong $(WARNINGS) $(DEFS)
... ...
EXTRALIBS_EXIM = -lspf2
DEFS = -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
WARNINGS = -Wdate-time -Wformat -Wno-format-truncation -Werror
LDFLAGS = -Wl,-z,relro
and his make.log with:
cc lmtp.c
lmtp.c: In function ‘lmtp_write_command’:
lmtp.c:244:48: error: unknown conversion type character ‘Y’ in format
[-Werror=format=]
244 | DEBUG(D_transport|D_v) debug_printf(" LMTP>> %Y", &gs);

Commit 00392be0e7 (Fri Jul 7 00:40:43 2023 +0100) adds a non-standard %
option to printf-like format strings which -Wformat does not like.
Since Ian has enabled -Werror too, the compiler is going to abort.
-Wformat has been enabled by default since about the time that --std=c99
became the default, so he has should either
replace -Wformat with -Wno-format
or
add -Wno-error=format
or
just drop -Werror
These allow lmtp.c and smtp.c to compile on my machine, but there are
warnings in other areas so -Werror will still break the build.
Going back to exim 4.96, there are 15 .c files that do not compile
on my Ubuntu 23.04/Lunar box with
CC=gcc -Werror -Wno-error=format
so I am not sure why Ian was expecting to be able to build 4.97 with
"-Werror".
