I'll have a look this afternoon once I've finished doing some work on exim.

Yes. Take the libwrap support back out; exactly what I'm doing in the
package I'll be uploading this evening. It's a shame, as libwrap support
would be useful to some people, but adding it at this stage breaks too many
existing setups :(

It could, but I don't want to lose functionality on all other architectures
just so it can be built on m68k. And IPV6 support was originally a release
goal for potato, wasn't it? I think I've worked out a solution: not ideal
but it will have to do. I'll upload it this evening.

I've fixed the bug (already uploaded); whether we want to remove the package
anyway is another matter.
