running exim on linux with db-1.85, i generally include one extra line in
Local/Makefile:
USE_DB=yes
DBMLIB= -ldb
this is because for some reason the auto configuration stuff doesn't
reliably pick up on the different library name from USE_DB=yes
this has worked for me since back in 1.7x, and i just upgraded one of my
linux boxes to 1.90, with the same configuration.
