Compile problem - libdb

I tried the #1 option and I got the tdb tarball (1.0.6) and build the
library. I changed the configure options for Bogofilter into:

  --with-database=tdb --with-libtdb-prefix=/usr/local

Configure ends without a problem and the Makefile is generated.
However, make returns an error (sorry... long):

You might say I have no clue whatsoever as to what causes this
problem. I think maybe my compiler is a bit too old for this... :(

But maybe somebody here has a different idea. If so, I'll be glad to
hear it.
