groveling for a build with ARC

[Robert Lister]

Hi Randy,

Here's what worked for me:

https://github.com/listerr/exim-misc/blob/main/Debian%20Exim4%20Custom%20Build.md

I see building a custom exim as a temporary measure until ARC etc.
is enabled by default in exim4-daemon-heavy in a future Debian stable.

I've had to update it twice (I think) - once because of a security fix.
Once you have it working, it's pretty straightforward.
