I think this was an alternative for platforms where a dbm library is part of the C library. Your patch would kill those platforms - but it may be that we are talking about the empty set here.

In either case, it should only link to gdbm if gdbm exists -- which is checked for right below the patch. -- Thomas Wouters Hi! I'm a .signature virus! copy me into your .signature file to help me spread!
