If you're building your own Exim, I'd recommend not using dynamically loadable
lookup modules. That should get you around this problem (which may stem from
the dynamic lookup overhaul in Exim 4.74 versus any dynamic lookup system DA
used before that).

I can confirm that static lookups will build succesfully on CentOS 6.3 64bit
wihtout ExtUtils::Embed present.

How you go about not dynamically loading lookups is detailed in
Local/Makefile, but I have no idea how the Makefile is constructed in
DirectAdmin. Perhaps more details are present in src/EDITME
