I've never tried BSDI 4, but here are some things I remember
doing once to get it compiled on BSDI 3.x box:

o add -rdynamic to LDSHARED in all of the Makefiles
o run make -k and ignore any error messages
o I also seem to remember that this produced extensions
  as .o files, which I then had to rename to .so...

Hope this helps!
