Development version of BIND 9 - 9.21.10 with meson build system

So...

I got some hints elsewhere.

In my case I need

$ meson setup build-dir -Dtracing=disabled
$ meson compile -C build-dir

However, install still errors out:

# meson install -C build-dir

errors out when I have BIND 9.20 already installed in /usr/local
with

ERROR: Destination '/usr/local/bin/named-compilezone' already exists and is not a symlink

after having installed lots of other files.

So now I have an incomplete installation of BIND 9.21.11.

I'm still puzzled how a dtrace-enabled build is supposed to work,
it ends up with lots of ISC/BIND-specific undefined symbols
seemingly related to dtrace, detected in the "install" phase.
