I tried to reproduce your problem.
Here is what I did:

Host OS: Debian Sarge i386 w/ custom kernel 2.4.30, VServer Patch 1.2.10
Guest OS: Debian Etch i386
CPU: Core2Duo E6320

The Guest OS was installed that way:

    cd /tmp
    wget
    http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.6_all.deb
    ar xv debootstrap_1.0.6_all.deb
    tar xvfz data.tar.gz -C /
    TARGETDIR=/var/lib/vservers/v39.citecs.de
    mkdir $TARGETDIR
    lvcreate -L400 -nlv17vs-v39 servvg
    mkfs -t ext3 -E resize=80000000 /dev/servvg/lv17vs-v39
    mount /dev/servvg/lv17vs-v39 $TARGETDIR
    debootstrap etch $TARGETDIR


    vserver v39.citecs.de start


compilation effords:

    vserver v39.citecs.de enter


    apt-get install gcc ftp make libc6-dev
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      binutils cpp cpp-4.1 gcc gcc-4.1 libssp0 ftp make libc6-dev
      linux-kernel-headers


    apt-get install perl perl-modules libdb3-dev libssl-dev libperl-dev
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      perl perl-modules libdb3-dev libdb3 libssl-dev zlib1g-dev
      libperl-dev libperl5.8


    cd /tmp
    wget ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/exim-4.69.tar.gz
    tar -xvzf exim-4.69.tar.gz
    cd /tmp/exim-4.69/Local
    wget http://www.directadmin.com/Makefile
    perl -pi -e 's/^EXTRALIBS/#EXTRALIBS/' Makefile


    /tmp/exim-4.69/Local# cat >> Makefile << EOF
    HAVE_ICONV=yes
    CFLAGS=-O
    EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-liconv -export-dynamic -ldl
    EXPAND_DLFUNC=yes
    EOF


    perl -pi -e "s/#define PROCESS_INFO_SIZE +256/#define PROCESS_INFO_SIZE 2048/g" /tmp/exim-4.69/src/macros.h


    cd /tmp/exim-4.69
    make


-> runs and compiles until it misses libiconv, I stopped here

Some questions:

I can't imagine what 'ldconfig' would help here.

no need to use "-I/usr/local/exim-4.68/build-Linux-i386 -I/usr/local/exim-4.68/src"
( dropped -I/usr/local/include also because there was nothing to include on
the test setup)

( dropped -L/usr/local/lib also because there was nothing to link
against on the test setup)

sure you need that? I didn't.

...

Next thing I would try is running "strace -o /tmp/trc -f make"
instead of just "make" and inspect the output in /tmp/trc
for failure, esp. failed "mkdir" and "execve" system calls.

HTH, Chris
