Okay, here are some excerpts from your log.  Here's your problem:

...
attempt to open /usr/lib/noX/libgdbm.dll.a failed

                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this must be an old libgdbm library.  You should be using the import 
library in /usr/lib.  However, this wouldn't be such a problem if your 
object files had been compiled with the gdbm #include files that "match" 
the /usr/local/lib/libgdbm.a library.

However, it's obvious (!) from the errors you are getting that your 
object files were compiled with the "official" gdbm include files in 
/usr/include -- but you're linking against the wrong gdbm library.

Either (a) install the gdbm include files that match 
/usr/local/lib/libgdmb.a into /usr/local/include, or (b) remove 
/usr/local/lib/libgdbm.a.
