The DBM is not the database format, but the API interface.
So the 'support for DBM handler' may be confused.
The PHP source use gdbm's dbm (api) emulation as underlying library to
build DBM handler support in DBA.
But the resulting database format for this kind of 'dbm' handler does
NOT compatible with FreeBSD's built-in DB format.
FreeBSD has its built-in database format (libc) which been used in the
system everywhere, such as /etc/mail/aliases.db.
In fact, FreeBSD/db's format is the same as 'Berkeley DB 1.85'
So my question becomes:
How to access 'Berkeley DB 1.85' by DBA extension ?
-or-
How to build 'dbm' handler with FreeBSD/db as underlying library ?
The deprecated PHP dbm_* extension can open 'Berkeley DB 1.85' in
FreeBSD. But this should be replaced by DBA.
The codes in PHP/ext/dba/dba_dbm.c does not compatiable with the API of
FreeBSD's db library.
I decided to fix this myself.
I rewrite the PHP/ext/dba/dba_dbm.c today, and it can be build with
FreeBSD/db. It now runs perfectly.
But I think this should be called as 'db1' handler.
The codes can only be compiled in FreeBSD.
I don't know if you would like to add this into PHP CVS.
I'll be glad if I can contribute my codes.
Thanks for your patience on the report and tolerate my poor english.

Description:
Yes, it's related to Bug #28384.
Since DBM extension is deprecated.
I need the DBM handler (Berkeley DB 1.85) support of DBA extension.
(ex: dba_open( 'index.db', 'n', 'dbm' ) )
FreeBSD has its own built-in DBM library, which is Berkeley DB 1.85.
But I can not build DBA extension with FreeBSD's DBM.
The DBM support can not be auto-detected by the configure script.
