Indeed. The script iterates over a hardcoded list of bdb version (in
descending order) and then uses whatever "works" first, i.e. with
whatever bdb version linking the autoconf test program succeeds. Thus
it doesn't allow for using libdbX if you also have libdbY installed
and Y>X; yes, that's suboptimal ;-)
