I've tried the same using GDBM_File from the perl in-tree.
Even if regress fails and something seems wrong it compiles... maybe
enough for someone else to get it working.
Other things not taken care of: gdbm.t uses Config.pm to check GDM_Files
existance which can't work as Config.pm gets setup with base perl.
I've worked around this patching the gdbm.t @INC with blib/lib but then
the tests fail with a hand full of unknown symbols...

And i don't know if this kind of Makefile is even accepted... may need
some more polishing.

Makefile attached,
good luck and regards
