I copy my DB_CONFIG in my personal build script after build, but before clean,
and then after pbuild.

I have not ever used fastbuild myself, so I'm not much help with errors from it.
I also tend to keep Berkeley DB and the Ocaml compilers current

Also, you can upgrade a database to a new version of Berkeley DB without
rebuilding as most upgrades of bdb only require a change to the log file. If I
wish to upgrade sks and bdb from say db51 to db53:

        <shutdown SKS linked with libdb5.1, backup DB dirs>
        cd /var/sks                     # default location
        for DB in KDB PTree
        do
            db51_recover -eh $DB        # feels extra, some Oracle doc recommend
            db51_recover -h  $DB        # run again, this time removing DB env
            db51_checkpoint -1h $DB     # checkpoint with old version
            #
            db53_checkpoint -1h $DB     # checkpoint and convert the log
            db53_recover -eh $DB        # run db_recover and recreate env
            db53_archive -dh $DB        # remove old log files
        done

        <cd to SKS src dir and 'make install' version linked with libdb5.3>
        <restart SKS>

see
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17275_01/html/programmer_reference/upgrade_process.html
as well as release notes for the new version of bdb being installed

I always do the untar, edit Makefile.local and then make dep all{,.bc}
before I do the DB upgrade, then I only have to make install{,.bc}
