Rawhide now contains the new gdbm-1.8.3. The compat-gdbm package is now 
also available, and it provides libgdbm.so.2, so packages work without 
the rebuild.

However, it makes no sense to use compat-gdbm for a long time, as the 
API is the same, and no source code changes are needed in packages using 
gdbm-1.8.0 to use gdbm-1.8.3.
