Just to be clear, are you using a SVN checkout, or downloading a 
snapshot tarball and unpacking that?

It's an autogenerated file - generated by generate-exceptions.  This 
should be run automatically by the build system, but perhaps that's 
failing.  If you're using a SVN checkout, I recommend re-running the 
bootstrap script, or if you're running configure manually be sure to 
pass the --enable-maintainer-mode flag.

For more details, read the "Building from SVN" section of the file 
"HACKING" in the xapian-core top-level source directory.
