The docs on the web site document a new arg that is needed
for OSX, since it has trouble guessing the BDB library name for OSX.
THe CVS version adds --with-bdb-name=db3.4.5 etc. to tell it
that it should try -ldb3.4.5

Either have a go with the CVS version or edit the configure
script to hard-code what name to use.  THe rest of the errors
are fall out from failing to test the BDB library properly,
I expect.
