Did you try the suggestion here:
    http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-support/2004-January/047497.html
    http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-support/2004-January/047517.html

It might help because I see those "-lgdbm -lgdbm_compat" flags in your Perl compilation.

Please have a look at the following variables in Makefile.global:
   CC              = gcc
   DBM_CPPFLAGS    =
   DBM_LIBS        =

It is an extract from my own Makefile.global (where I see the last two are unset).

Maybe "-lgdbm -lgdbm_compat" should be put in one or several of these lines (?)
And afterwards in PERL_CPPFLAGS (?)
It is just a suggestion, in case it helps.  (Not tested.)
