I don't understand why you had this message...
It happens when you have test -r with more than one argument.

Can you please try to just add quotes to the variables:
      if test -r "${dir}/include${dbn}/$1"; then
          add_include "${dir}/include${dbn}"
          echo Found:  $1 at "${dir}/include${dbn}"

I think it should work...

Result:
ERROR: The Berkeley DB header files were not found

It's because '${dir}/include${dbn}/$1' (without quotes) will expand to multiple
arguments. I have both db4.2 and db4.3 header files installed. When using
quotes then argument will be one of:
 /usr/qt/3/include/db_cxx.h
 /usr/qt/3/include/db4.?/db_cxx.h
 /usr/include/db_cxx.h
 /usr/include/db4.?/db_cxx.h
 /usr/X11R6/include/db_cxx.h
 /usr/X11R6/include/db4.?/db_cxx.h
 /usr/local/include/db_cxx.h
 /usr/local/include/db4.?/db_cxx.h

It will work only when using 'db4.3' instead of (wildcarded) 'db4.?' as
function argument. My patch will search through directories in reverse order
because I want to compile xca with db4.3 instead of db4.2.

OK.
Thanks!
Fixed in current revision.
