MacPorts db44 build fails under OS X 10.5 Tiger

Was scratching my head over this one for a while. When I try a port install db44, I get the failure:

../dist/../db_dump185/db_dump185.c: In function 'main':../dist/../db_dump185/db_dump185.c:212: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast../dist/../db_dump185/db_dump185.c:214: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

It turns out that this is a known bug, and the workaround solution is to rename /usr/local to /usr/local-offline, run the port install, then rename /usr/local back again.  Now, back to building Apache2 and PHP5.
