Try to install libpcre2-dev
Or you may use source package from Debian repo:
wget
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/exim4/exim4_4.96-3.dsc
wget
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/exim4/exim4_4.96.orig.tar.xz
wget
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/exim4/exim4_4.96.orig.tar.xz.asc
wget
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/exim4/exim4_4.96-3.debian.tar.xz
dpkg-source -x exim4_4.96-3.dsc
cd exim4-4.96
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc
cd ..
There are some additional patches in exim4-4.96/debian/patches.
But you will have to install many more packages.
These packages are for building packages:
apt-get install -y dpkg-dev devscripts build-essential pbuilder quilt m4
make
These packages are for dependency resolving:
apt-get install default-libmysqlclient-dev docbook-xml docbook-xsl
libdb5.3-dev libgnutls28-dev libident-dev libidn11-dev libidn2-dev
libldap2-dev libpam0g-dev libpcre2-dev libperl-dev libpq-dev
libsasl2-dev libspf2-dev libsqlite3-dev libx11-dev libxaw7-dev
libxext-dev libxmu-dev libxt-dev lynx xsltproc
