db-2.7.7-3 was built with --enable-compat185.  You don't have another
libdb.a on your system aside from the one in /opt/freeware/lib (not counting
the symlink to that one in /usr/lib)?

I wouldn't think that you would need to rebuild rpm in most circumstances.
There are libraries for build and development shipped with rpm.  What's missing
that you needed?  Maybe we missed something.

That's not rpm.  That is a virtual package which gets built when rpm.rte 
is installed to provide RPM with the information about what was installed
via installp.  It's basically lslpp -f | /usr/lib/rpm/find-provides with
a little bit extra logic.  It allows rpm to find the dependencies provided
by things installed by installp.  If there weren't such a thing, you would
have to disable dependency checking every time that you used rpm.  If you 
run 'rpm -q --provides AIX-rpm' you'll what AIX-rpm does for you.  If you
install more support via installp later (like if you installed some optional
X libraries), then you would run /usr/sbin/updtvpkg to update AIX-rpm.  The
level of AIX-rpm is derived from your system level and a counter indicating
the number of times that updtvpkg was run.
