Erm, no, I mean it's not _built_, from the source directory:

[phil at metallica krb5-1.4.1]$ find . -name 'libdb*'
./src/util/db2/libdb.exports
./OBJ/5.9/util/db2/libdb.so
./OBJ/5.9/util/db2/libdb.so.1.1
./OBJ/5.9/util/db2/libdb.so.1
./OBJ/5.9/lib/libdb.so.1.1
./OBJ/5.9/lib/libdb.so
./OBJ/5.9/lib/libdb.so.1
[phil at metallica krb5-1.4.1]$ find . -name '*.a'
./OBJ/5.9/util/ss/libss.a
./OBJ/5.9/util/pty/libpty.a
./OBJ/5.9/lib/apputils/libapputils.a
./OBJ/5.9/lib/libss.a
./OBJ/5.9/lib/libpty.a
./OBJ/5.9/lib/libapputils.a
./OBJ/5.9/appl/telnet/libtelnet/libtelnet.a
[phil at metallica krb5-1.4.1]$ 


The shared version is there, the static version doesn't exist...
