Configure Can't find DBM on Mac OS X

AFAIK, this never worked. I originally installed Apache/mod_ssl on Mac OS X
10.1. At that time, I documented for other OS X users that they needed to
install gdbm in order to get mod_ssl working:

I got that information from this PDF:

  http://homepage.mac.com/rgriff/files/mod_ssl.pdf

I was unable to find any other documentation on the topic, but I can tell you
that in Mac OS X 10.1 and in 10.2, Apache would not configure with -ldbm:

======== Error Output for sanity check ========
cd ..; gcc  -DDARWIN -DMOD_SSL=208112 -DMOD_PERL -DUSE_PERL_SSI -I/sw/include

/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -ldbm
make: *** [dummy] Error 1
============= End of Error Report =============

IOW, "-ldbm" doesn't work with on Mac OS X, though I will likely file a bug
report with Apple asking them to make it a no-op the way "-lm" is.

If it ever worked, it was before I used Mac OS X, and therefore most likely was
with Mac OS X 10.0. I very seriously doubt that a significant number of users
still use that release.

Note that this issue has been reported before:
