I believe that Exim, when you do a "make clean" issues a warning about
needing to do "make makefile" to remake the makefiles.

make clean ; make makefile ; make

Also, check where libiconv.so is; hopefully you have a working locate(1)
command, so: "locate libiconv.so". The directory that is in is the
directory to include after the -L in EXTRALIBS_EXIM and the
corresponding .../include directory in CFLAGS.

Note also that you want to use CFLAGS+=<new options> with += instead of
a bare = because otherwise you lose the existing settings, some of which
are needed (as another recent thread has proven).
