It needs to be the same bdb version that SASL uses (which currently is
42). Documented in the Makefile [1].

...
# Activate support for hash and btree lookup tables
# http://www.postfix.org/DB_README.html. !! Takeaway: Use same DB as SASL !!
# "If you compile Postfix with a different Berkeley DB implementation,
# then every Postfix program will dump core because either the system
# library, the SASL library, or Postfix itself ends up using the wrong version."
...

Might be wise to prominently place this note in the SASL Makefile too.
