Following changes may solve your problem.
The cvs version of GLOBAL already includes this changes.

[libdb/db.h]

typedef u_int32_t       pgno_t;
...
typedef u_int16_t       indx_t;
...
typedef u_int32_t       recno_t;

        |
        v
#define pgno_t  u_int32_t
...
#define indx_t  u_int16_t
...
#define recno_t u_int32_t
