Thank you very much for testing BIND 10.

It looks like your autoconf environment is missing the pkg-config macro.
Our configure script provided in the tarball should work fine, but when 
you ran "autoreconf" it was overwritten.

We had a workaround in the configure.ac for this, but didn't seem to 
work right in your environment.

If you really want to use autoreconf, make sure you have pkg.m4 for 
aclocal (like /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4) and sqlite3.pc for 
pkg-config (like /usr/lib/pkgconfig/sqlite3.pc).  (The directories may 
be different.)

Also please consider using a newer release of BIND 10. In fact, the 
latest development release is today!
