>Description:
I'm using NetBSD pkgsrc on Solaris 9. apr-0.9.5.2.0.48nb1 (the package
for Apache Portable Runtime) does not build for me.

A problem occurs during the configure stage, when configuring in the
directory ".../work/httpd-2.0.48/srclib/apr-util". configure fails to
locate Berkeley DB support, despite the fact that I have the db4-4.2.52
package installed.

Looking at the config.log file it appears that the test program built
against the db4 library fails to link with a bunch of unresolved symbols:

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/apr && bmake clean && bmake install

>Fix:
In the tech-pkg mailing list Gavan Fantom <gavan@coolfactor.org> suggested 
adding:

LDFLAGS.SunOS+= -lnsl

to the package Makefile. This worked for me.
