The libdb* linkage seems to come from the output of 'apu-1-config
--libs'. It returns '-ldb' and so the APR.so part of mod_perl is
linked with libdb*.
However, I see no reason for anything that uses libaprutil1 to be
linked with libdb. As far as I see, the DB part of aprutil is in
another, private, library, apr_dbm_db.so, which is already linked with
libdb. I think apr-1-config --libs should not include DB libraries.
The following patch would help. It goes a bit further by removing any
ldap libraries from the output too (not that there are any now):

In the mean time, I think we can patch mod_perl to call apu-1-config
with --avoid-dbm as a workaround.
