Are you trying to build the Exim.org or the Debian way ?
If Debian, I would start with
sudo apt-get build-dep exim4
which ought to install the dependencies for you.
---------------------------------
I note that between 4.95 and 4.96
src/EDITME
changes include:
471,472c471,472
< PCRE_CONFIG=yes
< # PCRE_LIBS=-lpcre
---
> PCRE2_CONFIG=yes
> # PCRE_LIBS=-lpcre2
Have you included this change in exim-4.96/Local/Makefile ?
If you are using the Exim source, do you have
pcre2-config
in your path ?
Unfortunately your build logs seem to hide the link line arguments,
so I cannot see how it is trying to include the pcre2 library.

I would like to see the arguments to the line above :-)
