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.
