 ???

 Anyway try it with

uln% diff -u bdb-0.5.4/src/extconf.rb.old bdb-0.5.4/src/extconf.rb
--- bdb-0.5.4/src/extconf.rb.old        2004-11-14 16:30:06.000000000 +0100

+under = if with_config("db-underscore")
+           "_"

 version  = with_config('db-version', "-4.3,43,-4.2,42,-4.1,41,-4.0,-4,40,4,3,2,").split(/,/, -1)
 version << "" if version.empty?
 
 catch(:done) do
    version.each do |with_ver|
       if unique != true
-        db_version = "db_version" + unique
+        db_version = "#{under}db_version" + unique
         throw :done if have_library("db#{with_ver}", db_version)
       end
       if with_ver != "" && (unique == "" || unique == true)
         /(\d)\.?(\d)?/ =~ with_ver
         major = $1.to_i
         minor = $2.to_i
-        db_version = "db_version_" + (1000 * major + minor).to_s
+        db_version = "#{under}db_version_" + (1000 * major + minor).to_s
         throw :done if have_library("db#{with_ver}", db_version)
       end
    end
uln% 

 and run it with

  ruby extconf.rb --with-db-underscore


 I'll try to find a better solution
