It's probably a winconsole program. There is a difference between
winconsole programs and DOS API programs; winconsole programs can use
features of the Sindows API.

Micro$oft Developer Studio? Of course it won't make in DJGPP; Berkeley
DB is probably a Windows program. RSXNTDJ, Cygwin, and MingW32 are the
GCC ports to use when making Windows programs.

From the page:

Building Berkeley DB:
  Building for UNIX platforms 
  Building for UNIX: FAQ 
  Building for Windows 3.1 platforms 
  Building for Windows/95 and Windows/NT platforms 
  Building for Windows: FAQ 

It doesn't mention building for DOS. DJGPP is a DOS port of GCC that
makes DOS programs. Look for RSXNTDJ:
