dbm contains functions that return structures. GCC structure returning is incompatible with that of PCC-compiled programs on most machines. GCC 1.34 comes with a new switch -fpcc-struct-return which tells it to use a compatible convention. Alas, this flag has bugs in 1.34. They are fixed for 1.35, to appear in about 3 weeks.
