I'm sorry to disappoint, but there is no such thing as Daniel's
installation. It is a stock Ubuntu install, arguably the most common distro
in the world. And the same inability to detect Berkeley DB arose in both
14.04 and 15.10. Nothing "weird" at all, in fact.
Detection of Berkeley passes as it should when conftest.$ac_ext precedes
$LDFLAGS in `configure'.
That's all. No need to look for excuses or scapegoats.
Thank you Reimar for bringing sanity to this discussion.
