gdbm, as shipped by the FSF, compiles for fcntl or flock, depending on
which it finds. I'd taken over maintenance (though lacking bug reports
haven't uploaded a new package) but for my own use, built a version
that did no locking at all (it interferes with kerberos V5 database
locking, for one thing.)

If I could come up with a good interface (environment variable? mode
bits on the database?) I'd submit the patches for real...
