I don't see this behaviour on a 1.5.2_ALPHA/i386.  The only test that I
fail is test 303 of pragme/warnings.t.  I'll test on the mac68k machine as
well when I get the chance.

gdbm isn't there because databases/p5-gdbm is a separate module that
encapsulates the need for GDBM libraries.

I'm at a loss to explain what's going on.  I can understand the need for
libposix, but not for libgdbm.  This needs more investigation.
