Hi. I've met the same problem. There is a minor error in
./configuration file that LDBM should never be disabled
(as what README said)....

I expect that your 'ld' found libdb.a first. It's a common problem..
Since you use -L, I think your system supports dynamic library. You
may temporarily move libdb.a to another directory and after compilation
move it back again.

My problem was a bit more tricky, but solved...
There is no --with-libraries nor --with-includes in ./configure,
so that I'd always use "LIBS=-L... ./configure" to link against
the BerkeleyDB that is in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB. ./configure tried
to find db.h everywhere but not its default path (default is
BerkeleyDB-2.*) ... maybe it should be modified...
