Sound like libiconv is not installed in a standard place and so Exim
can't see it. As it says in the src/EDITME file:
# If you are not using one of those systems, but have installed iconv(), you
# need to uncomment that line above. In some cases, you may find that iconv()
# and its header file are not in the default places. You might need to use
# something like this:
#
# HAVE_ICONV=yes
# CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include
# EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv
#
# but of course there may need to be other things in CFLAGS and EXTRALIBS_EXIM
# as well.
