Roy,
--enable-build-dird=no is the correct option to build FD plus SD.  For
safety, you can explicitly specify --enable-build-stored.  The issue
you're running into is that you still need database drivers to build the
SD, because some of the tools that are built with the SD (notably bscan)
may need to connect to the Catalog.

One way you can work around this in a situation such as yours is to
build all the daemons on a machine of the correct architecture and OS
that has the database drivers, then install all the SD machines from
that build.  Sure, tools like bscan that are linked against database
client libraries won't run; but if you're not going to try to use them
anyway, you don't really care about that.
