As noted by others, this has nothing to do with Exim
The following two line program should fail as well:
#include <resolv.h>
main() { res_init(); }

It is possible that your system has a resolv.h file
that doesn't match your resolver library. The mapping
from res_init to __res_init is done in resolv.h
Some systems don't use the __ prefix.

The error about __res_state is weird. I don't find a
reference to it in dns.c I thought it was used in
"struct __res_state { ", not as a symbol. Again
your resolv.h may be acting strangely.
