I think many people have problem on freebsd4.7+ with exim-4.12.
(me too)
So, solution:
1. Create Local/Makefile
2. do make makefile
3. Change <db.h> to BDB's db.h (in dbstuff.h line 101) in my case
this is #include </usr/local/include/db4/db.h>
4. Modify LIBS=-lcrypt to LIBS=-lcrypt -L/usr/local/lib -ldb4 in
os-specific makefile (build-FreeBSD-i386/Makefile)

Voila:
# /usr/exim/bin/exim -bV
