Please unmask sys-libs/db:4.7. It seems to work correctly. (I tested Subversion BDB repositories.)
Thanks for the feedback, assigning to maintainers.

I don't think it's as safe as you claim yet. Try to get OpenLDAP to compile against 4.7 for example.
The latest version of openldap explicitly picks db 4.5 (or 4.4 or 4.3), so this doesn't look to be a blocker.

Ok, just unmasked. I'll leave this open a bit longer in case there is fallout.
closing.
