FreeTDS probably. As this library will (probably) be used on systems
where libdb is prevalent the same problem is likely to show up in
various situations.

Note that for Apache, if the module that uses libdb is compiled as a
DSO then the problem *should* be solved, as only the loadable module
needs to be linked with -ldb. This is the same problem as perl's
DB_File module, for example.
