You seem to have two different problems, because the Exim one is related
to library support, and the Nano one is a parse error from GCC. Exim comes
with its own copy of PCRE, so the RPM is irrelevant.

AIX has unusual non-ELF libraries, but I'm surprised that they managed to
break Exim's simple usage of ar - or perhaps it's just that your
installation of gcc has a different idea of the default to the native
tools. Anyway, have a look at the description of the OBJECT_MODE
environment variable in the ar man page. If you set it correctly you might
be able to get Exim to build...
