Hello,
It is a patch containing just a patch.

$ wget 'http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/exim4_4.34-4.diff?bug=262611&msg=3&att=1'
$ lsdiff exim4_4.34-4.diff\?bug\=262611\&msg\=3\&att\=1
exim4-4.34/debian/patches/37_kbsd-gnu.dpatch
$ patch 37_kbsd-gnu.dpatch < exim4_4.34-4.diff\?bug\=262611\&msg\=3\&att\=1
patching file 37_kbsd-gnu.dpatch

This is not urgent.

$ lsdiff 37_kbsd-gnu.dpatch
exim4-4.34/OS/Makefile-GNU
exim4-4.34/OS/Makefile-GNUkFreeBSD
exim4-4.34/OS/Makefile-GNUkNetBSD
exim4-4.34/OS/os.h-GNU
exim4-4.34/OS/os.h-GNUkFreeBSD
exim4-4.34/OS/os.h-GNUkNetBSD
exim4-4.34/OS/os.h-Linux

There are some bugs in there, too.
+CFLAGS ?= -O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE

?= is probably GNU-make extension.

+EXIWHAT_MULTIKILL_ARG=exim4

This should obviously read "exim" instead of "exim4".
