So is Arch a direct descendent of Gentoo, i.e does it us a descendent
of its ebuild system?

Sound pretty much like it could be. Can you take vanilla python 2.5.2
on your box, build from source and then check if the gdbm extension
compiles [I think it won't]. Can you then build gdbm from source and
use that version to build python? If that works it is likely to be a
use flag problem somehow in arch and your specific setup.
