Parrot::Configure::Step::cc_build() called at config/auto/gcc.pl line 31

While perl5 was configured with these libs these aren't (all) on
the box here[1]. Seems to be caused by recent changes WRT cc/gcc
detection.

[1] or they are here but as e.g. libgdbm.so.3 which the linker seems to
ignore.

I ran into this yesterday when trying to configure parrot on my debian
box. The (easy) solution was to to install the libgdbm-dev package,
which includes libgdbm.a and libgdbm.so.
