The problem:

Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lib/odbm.t   127 32512    ??   ??       %  ??
14 tests and 226 subtests skipped.
Failed 1/375 test scripts, 99.73% okay. 0/15092 subtests failed, 100.00% okay.

was solved by doing:

make distclean
rm -f config.sh Policy.sh

sh Configure -Ui_dbm

I interrupted the manual configuration process by appending &-d to one of the 
answers.

make test (this time all tests were passed)
make install

My problem was probably caused by the fact that I had eliminated the perl-5.6 
version that my Linux vendor had provided me with, in order to install 
perl-5.8.

BTW, it was in the INSTALL.txt:

Here are the
Configure command-line variables you can set to turn off various
extensions.  All others are included by default.

    DB_File             i_db
    DynaLoader          (Must always be included as a static extension)
    GDBM_File           i_gdbm
    NDBM_File           i_ndbm
    ODBM_File           i_dbm
    POSIX               useposix
    Opcode              useopcode
    Socket              d_socket
    Threads             use5005threads

Thus to skip the NDBM_File extension, you can use

        sh Configure -Ui_ndbm

Again, this is taken care of automatically if you don't have the ndbm
library.

Of course, you may always run Configure interactively and select only
the extensions you want.
