This may be caused by the feature test prior to the database test.
Can you attach the config.log file?
i think the most interesting is with gdbm, isn't it? and you prefer
when it fails on no ndbm.h, or the version where i linked gdbm_ndbm.h
to ndbm.h?
in doubt i attach config.log for gdbm and the fake(?) ndbm.h
thank you

to ndbm.h?
You shouldn't do that anyway; on my Gentoo system at least libndbm is
a link to libdb1, not libgdbm.
in doubt i attach config.log for gdbm and the fake(?) ndbm.h
configure:38525: checking for dbm_open in -lgdbm
configure:38560: gcc -o conftest [...] -lgdbm -ltermcap -lcurses [...]
conftest.c:228: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
conftest.c:231: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltermcap
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
termcap is the problem, not the databases. It seems like configure
adds termcap if it can't find tgetent in -lncurses or -lterminfo.
So I can get some idea of why configure is doing this, could you send
the output of just
./configure | grep -2 tgetent
To get your build going again, check to be sure you have the relevant
libraries/development packages installed. If there is something like
a termcap_compat package available (should not need one, but ...) it
might help as a workaround).
You could also try configure --with-tty=no ... as a workaround.

i installed libncurses5-dev, and now configure finds tgent, configure
terminates
without errors and xemacs is now building... why installing a
-dev-package helps
in finding a function in a library is over my head, but it worked...
thank you (as usual)
