You probably should take configure's advice here, unless you have a
specific reason for avoiding the portable dumper.  All of the unexec
ports have gotten very little attention in the last 5 years.

Hm.  We need to print out the loader flags, too.  Please copy the
build command that's failing, along with the exact error message.

According to the configure comments, FreeBSD's libc provides dbm.
Given that, you should be able to get a build by adding
--with-database=nognudbm, but we should figure out why configure is
detecting GNU dbm but not finding the library to link.  Do you
specifically prefer GNU dbm, or does it just happen to be on your
system and gets picked up by configure?
