Perl fails the cpp test because you don't have cppstdin in installed.
I usually install it and then run the tests again. You may have to
modify it slightly to use gcc as the cpp. (cppstdin comes with perl.)

As for the dbm tests, hack op/dbm and change the code so it looks for
a single file suffixed with '.db' (instead of '.dir' and '.pag').
This is because netbsd (since 0.8 I think) has used the 4.4BSD db
code to emulate dbm files. If you change the test it should work as
advertised.
