I've got the bug, it bites --enable-static.

The problem is that somewhere on that linker command line there lingers
a "-static" option, and you don't (evidently) have /usr/lib/libdb.a -
and you should not. The static (.a) link libraries have their version
number in their names.

I presume this is another problem I introduced when looking for run-time
link paths. These .a libraries don't have the nice soname feature, and
the pre-soname stuff tried the db-4.1 db-4.0 db-3.3 ... names first.

I'll see if I can concoct a solution.
