Error: support for FCNTL mutexes was removed in DBD 4.8

Hey folks. I receive the following error when trying to build Berkeley DB.
I have actually fully built LFS, and have booted it and am working on BLFS,
but because the Berkeley DB package was formerly in the LFS book, I posted
here, rather than BLFS. I am attempting to build APT (I know, blasphemy,
but it's been fun anyway). While building apt, I ran into an error which
stated I needed to install Berkeley DB. Finally, I managed to find this
(deprecated) package, unpack it and when attempting to configure it, get
the following error:

For configure, I used the steps from BLFS 12.0, Chapter 22:

../dist/configure --prefix=/usr      \
                  --enable-compat185 \
                  --enable-dbm       \
                  --disable-static   \
                  --enable-cxx       &&
make

Error: support for FCNTL mutexes was removed in DBD 4.8

I have googled around, and found a few threads where this issue came up (
here <https://lists.debian.org/debian-qa-packages/2024/10/msg00088.html> (
https://lists.debian.org/debian-qa-packages/2024/10/msg00088.html), for
example), but the response states that a patch should have fixed it and the
issue was closed. I have not been able to find a patch to fix this problem.

when I review config.log, there are other errors present, too many to list,
but many are of this nature:

error: implicit declaration of function 'msem_init'
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

And, further down in config.log:

compilation terminated.
configure:21585: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h */

and, further still:
configure:5289: $? = 0
configure: 5278: cc-qversion >&5
cc: error: unrecognized command-line option '-qversion'; did you mean
'--version'?

I've run out of ideas on what to search to try and fix this. There must be
some config flag or something that can fix this, I think.

Any ideas?
