Where does this error come from, is it also from gdbm?  Eventually
there is a check for a special set of permissions like 644 and at
Win98 is always 700 so an error is raised, maybe the 'wrong' error
text in gdbm?

What if you change the above snippet to:
main()
{
        DBM *dbp;
        dbp = dbm_open("xxx", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0700);
        if (dbp == NULL) perror("dbm_open");
}

The original poster has failures probably because he doesn't use 'ntsec'
in his CYGWIN= settings.
