[GRASS5] two-level namespace causes problems with dbmi

This is in connection with my solution to building GDAL to use GRASS
libs instead of the old libgrass, and then getting GRASS to build with
the resulting multiple defs errors.
review: the hard way: install GDAL without GRASS, build and install
GRASS, reinstall GDAL _with_ GRASS libs.
the easier way: use two-level namespace for SHLIB_LD.
But now I discovered a problem - DBMI doesn't like the two-level
namespace. Whenever GRASS tries to open a database (I tried DBF and
MySQL), the command that tried fails with an error
dbmi: db_open_database() not implemented
I tried it with v.in.ogr, where it is supposed to create an attribute
DB, and d.what.vect on an existing vector that previously worked.
The terminal output when building GRASS with two-level namespace shows
lots of multiple defs warnings between the various DB driver object
files and dbstubs, I guess that's where the problem is. Building with
flat namespace gives no multiple defs errors (and dbmi works).
So, it looks like I'm stuck with the Hard Way to do the GDAL/GRASS
combo. Rats! Unless someone has any ideas (it's getting a little deep
for me).
