Archlinux has custom makefile for their distro and seem to use gdbm instead of berkeley db, due to licensing issues with bdb itself. https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/exim.Makefile?h=packages/exim#n1228 USE_GDBM=yes DBMLIB=-lgdbm As you pointed out, you need to comment out db related entries and make modifications for two vars that you guessed correctly.
