Ok, I think I've figured it out. After rooting around in the source code a
bit and comparing with various db.h versions, it seems to me that SquidGuard
can't deal with db-4.1.

Unfortunately, db-4.1 and db-4.0 both want to redirect softlinks to db.h and
relevant libraries, but are incompatible.

So, I had to umerge db-4.1, re-emerge db-4.0 to re-establish the links,
emerge squidguard (successfully, this time), then re-emerge db-4.1.

This is all ok, but I'm now concerned that any time squidguard gets updated
and I do a "emerge -u world" it'll break again, requiring me to go through
the above process. That seems kind of lame.

I'll enter a bug for this.

Eric
