*** [db_dump185.lo] Error 1Digging on the DarwinPorts and Fink forums online (usually a goldmine for fixing issues like this) proved fruitless until I looked on the comp.databases.berkeley-db newsgroup and found that the thorn in the compiler's side was an optional component. At that point I had to dig up the MacPorts Portfile for db4 and manually remove the db_compat185 and db_dump185 options from configure.args. Cleaning and rebuilding solved my problem.
