This is noticed on all NetBSD ports with shared libs;
it may be a bigger problem on other platforms.
>Description:
In lib/kadm5/srv/Makefile.in, LIBS
includes -ldb. This is wrong because:
1) I'm not convinced libs should ever get set in a Makefile.
2) libdb is not shared, and cannot be linked against libkadm5srv on
anything besides AIX. Apparently, this is not strictly true, as the
code has worked.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
This may create a serious problem on some platforms. It is a
violation of the build process as well, as far as I can tell. I'll
fix and check in, building on as many platforms with shared libs as I
can find.
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
libkadmsrv links against libdb, which is never shared
