As usual, it's the perl part which makes problems. RedHat has changed
perl stuff with every release and it was already difficult to make the
source rpm compile on 7.x and the new betas.

What you should try first is to change the perlhack, which is really a
hack:

%define                 _perlhack %(eval [ %{_rhver} = "7.1" -o
%{_rhver} = "7.2" -o %{_rhver} = "7.3" -o %{_rhver} = "2.1AS" -o
%{_rhver} = "6.2" ] && echo 0 || echo 1)

I hope the problem doesn't come from different rpm macros...

BTW, what does 'rpm -qa | grep db' show you? I don't really understand
why '%(eval rpm -q --quiet db4-devel && echo db4 || echo db3)' doesn't
work in you environment?

I could make the %{name}-2.1.5-gccsnmpfix.patch patch an automatic
feature.

Please let me know how it goes.
