Ok. Can you give me a hint how I can build tdb2, so that I
can at least compile the equivalent change in tdb1_tdb.c?

Attached find another optimization: Using tdb_parse_record
we can avoid a malloc/memcpy/free in tdb_update_hash. Might
help large records like ldb indexes as well. Haven't run
make test on it yet, but I wanted to present the idea
already.
