System is Linux Ubuntu 7.04.
Perl is that installed by Ubuntu packages (full perl -V output attached
later).

Correct me if I'm wrong.
I believe the problem happens when you run auto::gcc tests
right after init::defaults, just because init::defaults
sets current 'libs' to the underlying perl's $Config{libs},
which has has_gdbm, while the system really has no libgdbm-dev
package installed.

Thanks for explaining.
