build: Add options to override BDB cflags/libs #9705

   laanwj commented at 9:48 am on February 7, 2017: member

   Add environment settings to specify the CFLAGS and LIBS to be used for BerkeleyDB directly. These will completely by-pass autodetection in the same way as other similar flags for pkgconfig.

   0BDB_CFLAGS  C compiler flags for BerkeleyDB, bypasses autodetection
   1BDB_LIBS    Linker flags for BerkeleyDB, bypasses autodetection
   

   Implements #3921.

   Also update *BSD build guides to use these.

7. Update OpenBSD and FreeBSD build steps

   Re-try with most recent versions, and use BDB_CFLAGS/BDB_LIBS to
   directly point at BerkeleyDB instead of CPPFLAGS hacks.

    utACK 5cc2ebb619b6bc7125e6a5f83f860dfcaa759d93 A nice addition to this would be listing the found BDB version (and or maybe the BDB CLAGS) in the configure summary.

    I thought about that. But well we don’t really detect the BDB version, there’s just a 4.8-check-or-not (which gets skipped if you manually provide these environment variables). May be worth doing at some point, but not as part of this pull. (we’d also have to decide what flags for which dependencies to list - listing them all would be a huge list)
