The previous version was 20131014.  I did not re-run configure, and now
that I have it is failing in the same way as the latest CURRENT.

Looks like DBM support wasn't previously defined.  I cannot remove the
gdbm-devel package without breaking dependency with perl-devel.  It
looks like the dependency on gdbm-devel was introduced by the latest
update to perl-core which now requires perl-devel and subsequently
gdbm-devel.
