I think you must edit the spec file within the tarball. There are
somewhere the following lines:

if [ ! -f configure ]; then
   CFLAGS="$MYCFLAGS" ./autogen.sh $MYARCH_FLAGS --prefix=%prefix --localstatedir=/var/lib --sysconfdir=%{sysconfdir}
else
   CFLAGS="$MYCFLAGS" ./configure $MYARCH_FLAGS --prefix=%prefix  --localstatedir=/var/lib --sysconfdir=%{sysconfdir}
fi

Just append --enable-prefer-db1 to the ./configure line. After this you
can type 'make dist' in the top source directory and a new tarball with
the new spec file will be created. Hope this helps.
