You're misinformed. The suffix -1 or -3 you're seeing is incremented
each time an Exim build of that version is performed on that machine.
The 'make install' process makes this happen, and installs a symlink
so that you can access the most recently built binary as 'exim', and
preserves the older binary(ies) in case you need to revert.

So you can probably ignore the fact that one server has -3 and the other -1.

But I wonder why you're installing an old version - 4.12 is pretty
ancient by most measures. The latest and greatest is 4.53, and should
build ok on your platform.
