I'm pretty sure that this is Berkeley DB version 5

but you're trying to link exim_dbmbuild using gdbm, probably with a "compat" shim layer.

That feels wrong. I don't known how you ever had it working.

The default set for these hints-databases is in the OS/Makefile-<platform>
(Linux, for your case). Look for USE_<something> and DBMLIB.
Those defaults can be overidden by settings in your Local/Makefile.

The USE_* and the DBMLIB need to be consistent.
