It looks like the use of "-Wl,-z,separate-code" is the one which
is responsible for bumping the number of LOAD segments in the
shared libraries from 2 to 4.
There are several paths out of that situation:
1) On NetBSD, insist on NetBSD >= 11.0_BETA. The fix above is
part of what's in 11.0_BETA. I've not verified this myself
yet.
2) On NetBSD, and on NetBSD < 11.0_BETA, drop the usage of that
linker option. Requires meson magic above my current
abilities.
2b) Or ... insist that users otherwise matching #2 manually edit
out that option from meson.build. Obviously that's a less
desireable "solution".
3) Apply the above patch to netbsd-10, and wait for the next 10.x
release for the fix availability. There's a non-zero chance
that this change interacts badly with other features (TLS on
arm, e.g.) that it's not a straight-forward solution to apply
this fix without "more engineering". The focus in the NetBSD
camp is more on netbsd-11 and getting that into a release-able
form, and getting the next 10.x release out the door may take
quite a while if it ever happens.
4) Move the build setup for BIND 9.21.x to e.g. pkgsrc-wip and
eventually to pkgsrc proper where local patches can be
applied, effectuating e.g. #2b above, and indicate that's
where the NetBSD build setup for BIND 9.21.x is to be
maintained.
Help with #2 would be appreciated, but as you see, there are
other options.
