This alone should be a reason to absolutely discard GDBM as a choice
for support of man-db.
Agree.
2. Berkeley-DB is a moving target. Even now, with the most current
version I am hesitant to put in the BLFS book because of API changes.
I've only found Python to need a patch so far, but I've not tested
everything. I'm speaking of BDB-4.4 16.
An API change in BDB? No, can't be! ;-) Still FWIW, usually these are
not a big deal, and my preference is the same. Alexander mentioned
another couple of sticking points below that will need to be examined.
