BIND 9.21.21: Problem with dynamic libraries on NetBSD

[Ondřej Surý]

Hi,

there has been previous conversation on this topic and Havard has helpfully
provided the working combination (I think).

https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2026-January/110443.html

This needs to be ultimately fixed somewhere in between meson-build
and NetBSD linker, but that should get you going, I guess.
