This is correct for the Xaw client.  For the Gtk+ client, the relevant code
is in client/gui-gtk/menu.c.

The basic problem is that the Diplomat/Spy Actions menu item has usurped
the "shift-b" shortcut.

I don't know why shift-b was chosen; (unshifted) d is available.  So, the
attached patch changes the shortcut for Diplomat/Spy Actions in both
clients to "d".  This leaves "shift-b" available in Gtk+ for build wonder
(as it was before the Diplomat/Spy Actions patch).
