The build needs patching for a clean build on SCO ODT3 (3.2v4.2) so that
it uses libdbm.nfs if available instead of libdbm.

(This fix from Jarkko Hietaniemi in response to fix that modified
  ext/{O,N}DBM_File/Makefile.PL )

Problem​:
  Build fails with errors for duplicate symbols for libdbm function names
  due use of -ldbm.nfs and -ldbm.

Fix - Add​:

ext/NDBM_File/hints/sco.pl

# SCO ODT 3.2v4.2 has a -ldbm library that is missing dbmclose.
# This system should have a complete library installed as -ldbm.nfs which
# should be used instead (Probably need the networking product add-on)
$self->{LIBS} = ['-lndbm',-e "/usr/lib/libdbm.nfs.a"?'-ldbm.nfs'​:'-ldbm'];

ext/ODBM_File/hints/sco.pl

# SCO ODT 3.2v4.2 has a -ldbm library that is missing dbmclose.
# This system should have a complete library installed as -ldbm.nfs which
# should be used instead (Probably need the networking product add-on)
$self->{LIBS} = ['-lndbm',-e "/usr/lib/libdbm.nfs.a"?'-ldbm.nfs'​:'-ldbm'];

Yes, this is well known. There is already a fix in place in
hints/sco.sh. Can you figure out why that fix didn't work for you?

I believe the previous hints fix was only for ODBM and it replaced
dbm regardless of whether libdbm.nfs existed or not.

You're perfectly right​: I did it to fix the broken ODBM. And yes, it seems I missed
libdbm.nfs, since I haven't the nfs product for SCO ODT 3.

Anyway you shouldn't build ODBM without libdbm.nfs (anyway, it's not really needed)

Oops. My confusion. I didn't read carefully enough to see that
libdbm.nfs is also (now?) good for NDBM_File. Sorry about that.

The original ODBM_File/hints/sco.pl file was only supposed to replace
-ldbm if -ldbm.nfs existed. If it ever did so when -ldbm.nfs did not
exist, then there is a bug in MakeMaker or the hint file.
