FWD: undefined reference to main

After more thought, I figured this question was more relevant on the exim-users
list.  I asked there and the simple answer is to remove the build-* directory
(if it exists) after installing the exiscan patch and before running make.

thanks,

Subject: undefined reference to main

Hi folks,

I'm trying to compile exim-4.42 with the latest exiscan patch (-27) on a
Debian sarge build.  I had some compile errors having to do with SRC and 
Brightmail (which I don't use) and I was able to work around that.  Now I get 
this error near the end of the build:

awk '{ print ($1+1) }' cnumber.h > cnumber.temp
rm -f cnumber.h; mv cnumber.temp cnumber.h

make[1]: *** [exim] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mail/exim-4.42/build-Linux-i386'

I've tried 3 different versions of gcc and I always get this error.  Can anyone
point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
mikeS
