After closely examining the API changes between 1.8.3 (ABI 3) and 1.9+
(ABI 4) as well as how the library is typically used, I believe they are
sufficiently compatible on 32-bit architectures.  Therefore, I have
proceeded to update the x86 gdbm to finally match the current upstream
(and our x86_64 package), but strongly recommend that packages which use
gdbm be rebuilt with libgdbm-devel-1.12-1 ASAP to be safe.

Besides my own packages, the following are affected:

nmh                                          David Levine

David, I believe that this is the last package yet to be rebuilt. Anychance of an update or rebuild?
