That's using an external Berkeley db, rather than the internal
db-3.3.4 version of Berkeley DB.

Even if the build was OK, there's still the issue of whether the
executable "works". You'll know very quickly, symptom will be a
segfault, whether what's actually in rpmdb/db3.c has manged to detect,
and deal correctly with whatever version of Berkeley DB happens to be
in -ldb.

Having two versions of software installed is always much trickier than
having a single version. Choose one, your life will be simpler. I'd
suggest that rpm-4.0.3 is the best bits I have at the moment, but your
circumstances are different than mine, so choose accordingly.
