A cross-compiler searches a particular set of directories for header files.  The
native compiler searches a different set of directories.  If you have db.h only
in a native headers directory, the cross-compiler will not find it.  In that
case, you need to install Berkeley DB headers and mingw import libraries where
the cross-compiler will find them.

You can see the list of directories in which a gcc will find headers files by
inspecting the output of `gcc -v -E - </dev/null'.

If you remain stuck, please post your exact `configure' invocations and paste
the resulting output.  Indicate the package you attempt to compile and type of
system on which you run the build.
