In the general case (for example on linux) you can still use ndbm
without having -lndbm linked to the main perl library, because the dbm 
access is done in the NDBM_File module, which is dynamically loaded.

I would guess that you still have to rebuild perl without references
to -ldb and -lndbm because of the dbopen() name conflict.
