OK, back to the original _imp__dbm_????? problems:

Charles Wilson, writing about another issue of linking with a dll, spake
thusly with Gerrit P. Haase:
I got now problems building bleadperl. : > At first configure isn't able to
find libiconv, because there is no libiconv.a:
: : cd /usr/bin && rm cygiconv*.dll
: cd /usr/lib && rm libiconv.dll.a
: --> removing the dll stuff will force the link to use the static :
archive. Which should work. Currently, configure is trying to link, ld :
uses the .dll.a by default and FAILS, so assumes that it can't work.
Sorry, I thought my archive contained both the dynamic lib and the static
lib. It doesn't (for libiconv). It does (for libcharset). I'm not
interested in tracking this down right now.
Isn't it possible to link in the dynamic libiconv?
Yes -- if you're using a patched ld. It works for me w.r.t. glib (but I
haven't and won't try building bleadperl anytime soon). (Glib build fails,
but libiconv linking is not the reason; libiconv linking works) If it
doesn't work for you, with perl -- I'm sorry. As I said earlier, no support.
Damn. I'm sorry I ever mentioned this.

I hope I haven't made you even sorrier!
However, could this be the same sort of situation? I thought it peculiar
that configure concluded that the linker is NOT "GNU ld." But I have no
idea what it tests.
