I think (haven't rebuild rpm for some time), that db4 is not linked
against, but has been embedded into rpm's sources. Try ldd on
/bin/rpm, you'll find it depending on librpmdb-4.2.so, and not
libdb-4.*.so

It was said that latest rpm bits (4.2, 4.1.1 and 4.0.5) had O_DIRECT
disabled in their db4 code. But someone reported this failure on an
rpm 4.2 system, so I am puzzled again ... :(

I guess I need to rebuild rpm for RH9/8.0/7.3, maybe go straight to
4.2.1.
