The problem is that you don't have libdb but it is being specified on the gcc command.

Can you give us the answers you gave to Configure that preceded the compile test? Specifically, what libraries did it find, and what libraries did you have it use?

Below is an example of that part of the configuration dialog: 

...
Checking for optional libraries...
No -lsfio.
No -lsocket.
No -linet.
Found -lnsl (shared).
No -lnm.
No -lndbm.
No -lgdbm.
No -ldbm.
No -ldb.
No -lmalloc.
Found -ldl (shared).
No -ldld.
No -lld.
No -lsun.
Found -lm (shared).
Found -lcrypt (shared).
No -lsec.
Found -lutil (shared).
Found -lc (shared).
No -lcposix.
No -lposix.
No -lucb.
No -lBSD.

In order to compile perl5 on your machine, a number of libraries
are usually needed.  Include any other special libraries here as well.
Say "none" for none.  The default list is almost always right.
 
What libraries to use? [-lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc]
