Nope.  This same problem occurs on all three of my x86 boxes.  One of
them was installed from scratch a few weeks ago with 1.4BETA.  I get
the same three lines from configure as you listed above.  It's this
line that is causing my problem:

checking for gdbm_open in -lgdbm... yes

This sets '#define GDBM 1' in config.h which causes a bunch of files to
include gdbm.h.
