gdbm-devel too, but it has gdbm/[gn]dbm.h pointing to ../[gn]dbm.h, so
there's no such problem and dbtest is building normally.

# rpm -ql gdbm-devel
/usr/include/dbm.h
/usr/include/gdbm
/usr/include/gdbm.h
/usr/include/gdbm/dbm.h
/usr/include/gdbm/gdbm.h
/usr/include/gdbm/ndbm.h
/usr/include/ndbm.h
/usr/lib64/libgdbm.so
/usr/lib64/libgdbm_compat.so
/usr/share/info/gdbm.info.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/gdbm.3.gz

OK, I'll modify on commit, thanks!

Thanks,
