grab the exim sources from a recent debian and install build-deps
and try to compile... all the exim-* packages in debian come from a
single source package.
I was unsuccessful building exim 4.80 on Jessie (debian 8) earlier
this year. so that building on Wheezy may require significant effort
(like building other libraries from source to support this exim)
it's probably easier to install the wheezy exim4 source package, patch
it manually, (it's a one line patch) and rebuild.
workflow something like this, (* represents a version number):
sudo apt-get build-dep exim4
apt-get source exim4
cd exim4*
vi src/strings.c # make the edit
fakeroot debian/rules binary # build takes several minutes.
sudo dpkg -i ../exim4-daemon-heavy*.deb

When I tried casting out nines I made a hash of it.
