	On Slackware 2.0.2 it is  libgdbm.a ...
	There is also   libdbm.a, which is something else..

	Btw: Could anybody check that   router/libdb/gdbm.c
	     is valid and up to date with the current GDBM
	     version ?  Perhaps add some tests so that a change
	     (incompatible one) on the GDBM will 'crash' the
	     compile with a warning ?
