That's not a common target for source Makefiles. It's the sort of thing
provided by package management systems which use Make.

You just hit the problem with installing from source. You need to keep
track of what was installed.

Using Local/Makefile, look for BIN_DIRECTORY; most stuff will be in
there. Optionally there's an .info file in INFO_DIRECTORY. The
man-page is not installed by default.

There will have been a default configuration file.

And a spool_directory, something like /var/spool/exim/, which might
still have mail in it.
