*Very* strange:

        configure:3334: checking for C compiler default output file name
        configure:3356: cc -O2 -pthread -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include/krb5 
-I/usr/include -I/usr/X11R7/include -I/usr/X11R7/include/freetype2 
-DPREFIX="\"/usr/pkg\"" -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include/krb5 -I/usr/include 
-I/usr/X11R7/include -I/usr/X11R7/include/freetype2 -L/usr/pkg/lib 
-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/lib -Wl,-R/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R7/lib 
-Wl,-R/usr/X11R7/lib -pthread conftest.c -ldb1 >&5
        ld: cannot find -ldb1
        configure:3360: $? = 1

What is -ldb1?  I see no sign of it in mk.conf, my environment, etc.  (I should 
have mentioned -- I run native xorg.)
