DBCK stopped building in NSS 3.4, and since then NSS has switched from
cert7.db files to cert8.db files, whose formats are somewhat different.

There were a few bugs in dbck. IMO, the development on it was unfinished
when it was abandoned.  However, the logic in dbck is mostly right,
and it could be made to build again by staticly linking with the NSS
libraries rather than using the shared libraries.

If you work on it and get it working again, your contribution would be
most welcome, I believe.
