The logs show a build failure for the static version. Therefore the missing
file would be /usr/lib/libdb.a not /usr/lib/libdb.so which is a dynamic
library. Does that file exist?

What's happening here is that configure tests for the presence of a .so file,
but the static build process actually requires a .a file. Ideally, we should
tweak the configure file to do the right thing in the presence of a '--enable-static'
option.

Easiest is to modify the spec file. BTW, I think just editing the 'configure
line to add '--with-libdb-prefix=/usr' should be adequate.
