Hi all,
have tried to build the newer version of BerkeleyDB only and without a DB4 compat a while ago and a complete buildthrough needed patches for OpenLDAP, PHP (have patched it for DB6 in the updated version PHP-5.6.17 will deliver it in the next days) and squidGuard but i haven´t collected good testing results with this basics at this time but you can find in here --> http://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/ummeegge/ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=749c518093e887f614a91d73fdefcb64f14aa952 the needed patches for a DB6 only environment.
Nevertheless a lot of software still uses BDB in version 5 or 4. Like PHP, the sources need´s then to be patched to be compatible with a BerkeleyDB-6 only installation, so a compat version 4 might be a good idea in my opinion.

Greetings,

Erik
