You don't need to do it in quite such a complicated way. Just stick

DBMLIB = -lgdbm

in your Local/Makefile. However, that is assuming that that is what you
want. The problem you are encountering is that the linker is not finding
a DBM library when it is trying to build Exim. There are several
possible DBM libraries you might have on your system. If you don't have
any of them, you will need to install one. See the file doc/dbm.discuss.txt
in the Exim distribution - this contains lots of details about DBM
files.
