I've found a nice workaround to force db4 to compile correctly, as it
*sometimes* will build correctly on my build system and sometimes not.
when I trigger the automated system through dar it fails, but when I got
into the build environment and run configure myself it works fine. very
odd. 

Modifying the spec file to add --with-mutiex=POSIX/pthreads/library to
the %configure invocation forces db4 to assume the correct environment
configuration.

The issue seems to be that if fails to find and link with the pthreads
library during the configure process around line 17031 in the
./configure script under some circumstances that I  have not yet pin
pointed.
