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
