The exim ChangeLog for 4.70 just says they're no longer bundling pcre. 
RHEL4 does have pcre so maybe all that's needed is for the 4.70 (and 
later) build to require pcre-devel and the binary rpm to require pcre.

I haven't got a RHEL4 development box to hand right now or I'd try 
rebuilding it myself.
