DJB's software isn't compatible with glibc; he doesn't #include <errno.h>.
The easiest way to make it work is to

  echo gcc --include /usr/include/errno.h > conf-cc

This gets discussed periodically; complaints about this state of affairs
haven't bourne any fruit to date, I wouldn't expect them to now.

If you don't like this, then at least for cdb there's a complete fix: use
tinycdb, from <URL:ftp://ftp.corpit.ru/pub/tinycdb/>; it's maintained, and
it's open source (public domain, in fact); so even if mjt stops maintaining
it, someone else can carry on.
