Possible context of error(s):

conf.c:5956:6: error: invalid preprocessing directive #ERROR
Comment 3 David Kredba 2021-08-19 07:11:42 UTC 
The error messege contains this too:
"5956 | #    ERROR "Berkeley DB file locking needs flock() for version 5.x (and greater?)"
Comment 4 Michael Weiser 2021-08-23 16:25:42 UTC 
Setting HASFLOCK as mentioned in the 8.17.1 RELEASE_NOTES solves the issue:

                NOTE: File locking using fcntl() does not interoperate
                  with Berkeley DB 5.x (and probably later).  Use
                  CDB, flock() (-DHASFLOCK), or an earlier Berkeley
                  DB version.  Problem noted by Harald Hannelius.
