It looks like the issue is that the linker looks for the shared version
of a library in all library directories first, so it's finding
/usr/shlib/libdb.so and linking against that.
It seems you can pass a parameter of -oldstyle_liblookup to ld that
forces it to look for shared libraries and then archives in each
directory before moving on to the next.
I tried adding
--with-mysqld-ldflags='-Xlinker -oldstyle_liblookup'
but this ended up putting it in the wrong order on the resultant
command to ld so that it sees it as an additional -o parameter and
causes an error.
Similar problems with defining CXXLDFLAGS.
The workaround I finally used successfully was to create a shell script
named ld in a directory that is in my path before /usr/bin which
contains:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/ld -oldstyle_liblookup $*
