No problems, rather get the issue sorted while still in -rc1.
I guess the problem with random configurations is they are not "real" or "real" enough!

Bind might run a little slower but at least it builds and works.
I think bind used to use BSD db and has since shifted to mdb.


The more serious issue is that configure is using local files and failing in this cross compilation toolchain generated by buildroot.
While the patch works in terms of allowing buildroot to build bind there is a deeper problem here.
The problem is more in the configuration tools getting it wrong, why is it looking at local header files at all, rather than the buildroot generated header files!


Keep the good work coming,
