I know that exim isn't autoconfiscated, but IMHO CFLAGS should be 
user-owned.  Instead the package should be setting its own, separate 
variables for special compiler or preprocessor options that it needs.  
Rather have:

EXIM_CFLAGS = -O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE

[snip]

.c.o:
        $(CC) $(EXIM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $<


then the packaging system can specify whatever CFLAGS it likes.
