Summary: Building 2.0 under Solaris 8 with GCC 2.95.2 fails to link

Details: With no special options to 'configure' the final link step results in

   cd Modules;  make OPT="-g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes" VERSION="2.0" \
                   prefix="/usr/local" exec_prefix="/usr/local" \
                   LIBRARY=../libpython2.0.a link
   make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/pedwards/newbuild/Python-2.0/Modules'
   gcc   python.o \
             ../libpython2.0.a -ldb                                 -lpthread -lsocket -lnsl -ldl  -lthread -lm  -o python 
   Undefined                       first referenced
    symbol                             in file
   dbopen                              ../libpython2.0.a(bsddbmodule.o)
   ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to python
   collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
   make[1]: *** [link] Error 1

This is using GNU make, and GCC with the native linker.  Using the native
compiler works fine.
