The exim install script installs a binary named exim-, plus a symlink to it named exim. In order to achieve this "feature" (of dubious usefulness) it runs the executable (on the host) and then filters its output to grab the version number. This clearly cannot work if the executable is cross-compiled, so get rid of all of it and just install an executable file called exim.
