The GDBM is GPL 3 licensed and incompatible with PHP license #16826

Description

Following https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/15882 there is a similar issue:

./configure --with-gdbm
make

It links the GDBM which makes PHP non-distributable.

I think all these GPL-3 licensed dependencies should be simply removed to make it easier to manage.

PHP Version

Any

Operating System

*nix

But we are not distributing GDBM, we are only linking against it.
