In perl5.002beta1, if a hints file sets $ccflags, it prevents $locincpth
from being used to add -I options to $ccflags. Since my <db.h> is
installed in $locincpth, this prevents configure from locating <db.h>,
and so the DB_File extension does not get compiled. ($loclibpth works
fine for getting Configure to locate libdb.a)

One fix is as follows:
