Of course adding bdb.buildlink.mk fixes the problem, but I'm not sure
this is a correct fix because these packages don't need db4 directly.
-ldb4 comes from...(long way)... python2.5.

Can those who maintain GNOME packages explain why libgnome-desktop-2.la
contains -ldb4? The real problem is probably here.
