On Fedora Linux 43 with:

  libdb-5.3.28-66.fc43.x86_64
  gcc-15.2.1-5.fc43.x86_64

compilation fails like this using NEWDB:

---------------------------------------------------------------
smdb2.c: In function ‘smdb_db_open_internal’:
smdb2.c:464:33: error: passing argument 2 of ‘(*db)->set_errcall’ from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
  464 |         (*db)->set_errcall(*db, db_err_cb);
      |                                 ^~~~~~~~~
      |                                 |
      |                                 void (*)(const char *, char *)
smdb2.c:464:33: note: expected ‘void (*)(const DB_ENV *, const char *, const char *)’ {aka ‘void (*)(const struct __db_env *, const char *, const char *)’} but argument is of type ‘void (*)(const char *, char *)’
smdb2.c:442:1: note: ‘db_err_cb’ declared here
  442 | db_err_cb(
      | ^~~~~~~~~
---------------------------------------------------------------


The error is caused by the following:

---------------------------------------------------------------
static void
db_err_cb(
#  if DB_VERSION_MAJOR == 4 && DB_VERSION_MINOR >= 3
          const DB_ENV *dbenv, const char *errpfx, const char *msg
#  else
          const char *errpfx, char *msg
#  endif
          )
{
        /* do not print/log any errors... */
        return;
}
---------------------------------------------------------------

I retried after a small change:

#  if DB_VERSION_MAJOR >= 4 && DB_VERSION_MINOR >= 3

and the compilation succeeded.
