I see I have it installed. No "libdb1.so" or just "libdb.so" in
PLIST/+CONTENTS.

-ldb1 won't work.

So db package should create symlinks or something for libdb1 and libdb
(which I need to try).

Also, I think I misunderstood and it may have been only
related to --enable-dump185 which needs version 1 already installed.
  db_dump185.o(.text+0xbe): undefined reference to `dbopen'

Also, pkgtools/pkg_install/Makefile should include
.include "../../databases/db/buildlink2.mk"

I'll just have to start with a pkg_install binary (built on another
system). But it does need to be able to build for when updated pkgsrc
forces a new pkg_install.
