| What I'm saying is, don't build the Exim port on systems that use
| PERL_THREADED.
| 
| What would be the canonical way for /usr/ports/mail/exim/Makefile to
| check if PERL_THREADED is enabled and commit suicide if it is?

You (well, the exim maintainer) would probably want to add something like:

.if defined(PERL_THREADED)
BROKEN=	"exim does not work with a threaded perl"
.endif

in the Makefile.  If you know why it doesn't work, or if the authors are
working on a fix, that would be useful information to include in the
BROKEN line too.

Hope this helps,
