As detailed in python/cpython#89452 (comment), Homebrew makes a specific change to gdbm that confuses the build of 3.10 and below into picking incompatible headers/libs, so dbm segfaults at runtime.

It's fixed in 3.11; older source-only releases only get a workaround: pass --with-dbmliborder=gdbm:ndbm to configure.


(3.8 is now EOL, but I don't want to remove mentions of it in this PR, even if it's textually nearby.)
