Actually, bdb.o is included in clisp [1] and -ldb seems correct to me,
because as soon as you install libdb4.6-dev you get:

=====
root at gismo:/# ls -l /usr/lib/libdb.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 19 20:33 /usr/lib/libdb.so -> libdb-4.6.so
root at gismo:/#
=====

This means that the error you experienced is cause by clisp-dev not
depending on libdb4.6-dev.  Can you confirm that installing the latter
fix your problem, please?

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
