I've just pushed a fix to master to make it dynamic:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/man-db.git/commit/?id=199a6e80e7b4baa27e195f2c1120c45df9ea4e67
Please test this if you can. When checking out the source code from
git, you'll need to run ./bootstrap to generate some files that are
normally part of release tarballs.
