Note that db_verify is part of Berkeley DB. Install Berkeley DB  
correctly is
going to be the fix.

Is LD_ASSUME_KERNEL set when building? Berkeley DB must be able
to detect functional posix mutexes if choosing what type of locking  
to use
implicitly. Otherwise, add --enable-posixmutexes.

Is rpm statically linked? If so, there's some additional compiler  
flags that need
to be used with some glibc's.
