I am able to go into the build directory and  run "make exim" and the 
exim binary is able to be compiled.
  build-Linux-x86_64]# make exim
  /bin/sh ../scripts/Configure-config.h "make"
  make[1]: Entering directory 
'/tmp/xsys.28373.0/exim-4.94.2-taintwarn/build-Linux-x86_64'
  make[1]: 'buildconfig' is up to date.
  make[1]: Leaving directory

  >>> config.h built

cc -o exim

  >>> exim binary built
  Now, if I run "make utils", it fails, I am going to poke around the 
Makefile and  to see what I find.

Other utils are also failing.

Am I the only seeing this problem?
