it's all my fault: my previous comment about using libgdbm was wrong.
when i ported rsynth i made it use Plan9's libc.h environment directly, not APE.
libgdbm is presumably using APE and the two aren't compatible.  perhaps you could
convert libgdbm to use libc directly.  i do it because it makes the libraries
easier to use from plan9 programs that use graphics, and it's always satisfying
to see all those #ifdefs vanish.
