The documentation for ${dlfunc says:

When compiling a function that is to be used in this way with gcc, you
need to add -shared to the gcc command. Also, in the Exim build-time
configuration, you must add -export-dynamic to EXTRALIBS.

The same would be true for your ${lookup patch. Does this help?
