BDB Nightmare

Fixed.
Like Dominic pointed out bdb was broken.
Making it with
make LIBSO_LIBS="-lpthread" LIBXSO_LIBS="-lpthread"
fixed it.
So now finally the following are working in /spare/local:
bdb-4.2.52, SASL 2.1.19, Openldap 2.2.17, Sendmail 8.13.1, Cyrus 2.2.8,
apache and silkymail.
Believe it or not there was a good reason for putting all of them in a
non-standard location. Namely the rdist setup at work overwrites
everything that is not precioused everyday at 4am. Updating the master
would have broken a lot of other mail servers that were not built with
SASLv2 and using old bdb and sendmail-8.12. Also sasl was not built with
ldap.
I am going to wait for rhel as 4 till I build a new master, till then this
should work fine.
Thanks and Best,
Akshay
