The db_5.3.28.bb recipe ran but failed on missing include "#include <iostream.h>" in tmp/work/cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/db/5.3.28-r0/db-5.3.28/build_unix/db_cxx.h

PREFERRED_VERSION_db = "5.3.28"

> As an experiment I added "#define HAVE_CXX_STDHEADERS" to the top of this file (I guess I should have made a patch or passed it from the recipe). The db_5.3.28.bb recipe then built okay and the image build stopped complaining about missing libdb-5.3 when installing python-bsddb

I had similar issue with db-4.8* and zeroc-ice, HAVE_CXX_STDHEADERS is
defined by default, when db recipes passes --enable-cxx, then <iostream>
is included instead of iostream.h and zeroc-ice builds ok.
