I found the previous discussions of this, including the announcement
for 2.3.12 back on April 21 (has it been that long since I
compiled???):

             * Change default from --disable-dbi to --enable-dbi. This
               is needed so that 'make distcheck' will work with the
               business sql backend tests.

Sorry for the noise. I will add a mention of --disable-dbi to the wiki.
