I did a make distclean.  It claimed to trash the .config.cache and such.

That is what I did, but: 

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hgs/ruby/ruby-1.6.2/ext/fcntl'
compiling gdbm
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/hgs/ruby/ruby-1.6.2/ext/gdbm'
gcc -fPIC -g -O2  -I/home/hgs/ruby/ruby-1.6.2 -I/home/hgs/ruby/ruby-1.6.2
-I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_GDBM_H  -c gdbm.c
gdbm.c:13: gdbm.h: No such file or directory
gmake[1]: *** [gdbm.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hgs/ruby/ruby-1.6.2/ext/gdbm'

is the result of trying again.  Note: 

   checking whether OS depend dynamic link works... yes
   creating config.h
   updating cache ./config.cache
   creating ./config.status
   creating Makefile
   creating ext/extmk.rb
-->brains hgs 50 %> grep -i dbm ext/extmk.rb
-->brains hgs 51 %> gmake
   gcc -g -O2 -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c array.c
   gcc -g -O2 -I. -I. -I/usr/local/include -c bignum.c

No mention of dbm in the extmk.rb

Is there a fix other than installing gdbm?
