One of the planned parts of the F21 System Wide Change: BerkeleyDB 6 [1] is the introduction of downstream symbol versioning of both versions of the libraries (libdb with v6 and libdb5 with v5). This part is planned in order to not introduce bugs similar to [2]. However, if we introduce downstream versioning (as upstream is generally unresponsive), then we face the problem similar to [3].
If upstream is unresponsive, why even upgrade to a new version with licensing-related challenges?
Anyway, have you investigated if you can use the upstream symbol mangling mechanism?
