While up-porting cvs, I found that cyggdbm_compat4.dll in the
libgdbm-1.8.3-4 package was actually linked to cyggdbm3.dll (the
pre-cygwin-1.5.0 version), instead of cyggdbm4.dll. This meant that my
cvs.exe was actually linked against BOTH cyggdbm3.dll and cyggbm4.dll.
That can't be good.
The solution, of course, was to rebuild gdbm-1.8.3 after having installed
libgdbm-devel-1.8.3-5. When subsidiary libraries are 'make installed'
they must be relinked -- and they get relinked against the version
installed into ${prefix}, not ${DESTDIR}${prefix}. This is a known bug
in libtool; I just forgot to account for it.
So, I re-rebuilt gdbm, and the result is this version of the gdbm
packages. These are linked against cygwin-1.5.0, not pre-1.5.1 or a
snapshot.
