In case this is useful to anybody, I managed to get this combination to
compile with the following patch:

        if (db_create(dbpp, NULL, 0) != 0 || \
-         (*dbpp)->open(*dbpp, name, NULL, DB_HASH, \
+         (*dbpp)->open(*dbpp, NULL, name, NULL, DB_HASH, \
          ((flags) == O_RDONLY)? DB_RDONLY : DB_CREATE, \
          mode) != 0) *(dbpp) = NULL


Being no expert on db, I've no idea which version of db onwards requires
this change, only that it fixed the exim 3.36 compile for db 4.1.25.

(However, my euphoria was short-lived as 'exim -bd' segfaulted at
runtime. The backtrace shows it was in a db_* function called from
inside one of the libnss*.so libraries, so I guess those libraries would
need rebuilding against the new db too to work in this situation. Too
painful for now :-( The system is basically Slackware
8.0 BTW).

Cheers
Richard
