Hmm ... ok, that makes sense.  When I do an ldd on erpcd on a libc5
system it only says it's linked against libc5 ... and libdb is linked
against libc6 on hamm systems.

tesla:/usr/annex # ldd erpcd 
        libdb.so.2 => /lib/libdb.so.2
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5
tesla:/usr/annex # cat /etc/debian_version 
1.3

Any way out of this mess?  I don't have a libc5 version of libdb 2 ... I
had to make a rather ugly hack to get this to run on the bo system :)

Thanks for the explanation of the crosslinking.  That makes a lot more
sense now that I think about it.
