I've tried, and it seems to work fine now for ESDK 5.0.6. Thanks!

You're not the only one. I would have done this but at the moment I
lack deep understanding of how it all ties together I'm afraid :)

Mmm. Perhaps it is a problem with my GNUmake, which is 3.79.1 (for
i386-redhat-linux-gnu).

I see lines like

LIBS            := $(filter-out -ldbmalloc,$(LIBS))

Between the first definition of LIBS and the definition of DWG_LIBS. As
these use simple expansion, perhaps this is causing the reference to
DWG_LIBS to be taken out?
