That's the one I would have expected to be most likely.

There's never any need to fiddle with the Makefile directly. You should
be able to specify all these things in your Local/Makefile.

*That* looks like a screw-up in the options for gcc. What's that "3D"
doing there?

I seem to recall you said you also installed DB 4. The problem may be
that just saying
DBMLIB=-ldb
isn't enough, because it doesn't say which version of DB. I have all of
DB 1,2,3,4 installed on my testing box. Here is an extract from my
Local/Makefile:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# All these 3 required for native mode DB 1.85; the second
# 2 only for compatibility mode.
#USE_DB=yes
#INCLUDE=-I/opt/local/include/db-1.85
#DBMLIB=/opt/local/lib/db-1.85/libdb.a
# All these 3 required for native mode DB 2.x; the second
# 2 only for compatibility mode.
#USE_DB=yes
#INCLUDE=-I/opt/local/include/db-2
#DBMLIB=/opt/local/lib/db-2/libdb.a
# All these 3 required for native mode DB 3.x; the second
# 2 only for compatibility mode.
#USE_DB=yes
#INCLUDE=-I/opt/local/include/db-3
#DBMLIB=/opt/local/lib/db-3/libdb.a
# All these 3 required for native mode DB 4.x; the second
# 2 only for compatibility mode.
USE_DB=yes
INCLUDE=-I/opt/local/include/db-4
DBMLIB=/opt/local/lib/db-4/libdb.a
# All these 3 required for native mode gdbm; the second
# 2 only for compability mode.
#USE_GDBM=yes
#INCLUDE=-I/opt/local/include/gdbm
#DBMLIB=-R/opt/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib -lgdbm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I uncomment the one I want today. Now, the file names won't be the same
on your box, but I hope you get the idea: you need to tell Exim where
the relevant include files are, and also where the right library is, not
just by -ldb, but with a longer path name.
Search around on your box for where DB 4 got installed; it's probably
in something under /usr/local. Then try something like my example above.
A possible alternative formulation for DBMLIB is
DBMLIB=-L/opt/local/lib/db-4 -ldb
