libreoffice-3.5.2_2 FB8.2/8.3 config error on amd64

[omar]

Another apparent LOCALBASE issue for the current libreoffice port
(libreoffice-3.5.2_2).

It seems to check for Berkley DB headers correctly but not for the
libraries, getting this result:
checking for db41/db.h... yes
checking whether db is at least 4.1... yes
checking for dbopen in -ldb41... no
checking for __db185_open in -ldb41... no
checking for dbopen in -ldb41... no
checking for __db185_open in -ldb41... no
configure: error: db library not found. Use the correct -L flag,
or install the Berkeley db development package.
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.

Checked on FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE and 8.3-RELEASE that have successfully
built libreoffice 3.4 previously.

Setting $LDFLAGS to the LOCALBASE location seemed to fix this.

I googled and found a handful of other people had encountered this also.

fyi,
