+If the AIX Toolbox version of lib gdbm < 1.8.3-5 is installed on your
+system then Perl will not work. This library contains the header files
+/opt/freeware/include/gdbm/dbm.h|ndbm.h which conflict with the AIX
+system versions. The lib gdbm will be automatically removed from the
+wanted libraries if the presence of one of these two header files is
+detected. If you want to build Perl with GDBM support then please install
+at least gdbm-devel-1.8.3-5 (or higher).
