That's the problem - your berkeley db library does not link to pthread 
although it uses symbols from pthread. Look at the little example 
program we're compiling - it just includes one header file. If you run 
"nm" on the libdb.so, you should get unresolved symbols in the library 
because it is not linking to pthreads.
