Bug report

Bug description:

Many of the *DBM checks are not performed correctly in configure; they're performing the checks without the user-supplied GDBM_* environment variables. On my MacBook, this leads to gdbm-ndbm.h not being recognised, even though Homebrew does ship it.

CPython versions tested on:

3.14, 3.13, 3.12

Operating systems tested on:

No response
