Changing line 27 of config/inter/progs.pl to 

  grep { $^O=~/VMS|MSWin/ || !/^-l(c|gdbm(_compat)?|dbm|ndbm|db)$/ }

should help you along.

I don't have a Debian box, but a friends "revision 5.0 version 8
subversion 2 (Debian unstable)" reveals:

    % perl -le 'use Config; print $Config{libs}'
    -lgdbm -lgdbm_compat -ldb -ldl -lm -lpthread -lc -lcrypt

I have no idea why Debians perl is linked with gdbm_compat as well as
gdbm.

I suppose this is a patch :-)
