I did.  The system bdb is v2.x, and even setting LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS,
configure finds the system db.h and libdb in /usr, concludes they don't
meet its requirements, and utterly ignores db-4.1.

However, since the ldbm backend works, I can work around this.

Looking into this, I see I'd somehow overlooked that it was linking
against a /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.a that wasn't even supposed to be
there, rather than the /usr/lib/libcrypto.a it should have been using.
(A case of seeing what one expects to see, I suppose.)  Needless to say,
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.a was very obsolete.  Removing that does indeed
appear to have solved the build issue.  Thanks for pointing out the
oversight of the /local in there.
