Hi Beno?t.
Let me save you some time, it doesn't work as expected.
I've tried pointing that into the bind build directory (because it needs 
some specific *.a files that i think aren't installed, besides another 
problem) but no luck, since it stills expects that to live in it's own 
build directory, try in dhcp's source dir:

find . -name Makefile.am -exec grep --with-filename ../bind/lib {} \;

...and you'll see the drastic results.

Even so with that fixed the bind package will need to get tweaked as 
well, since if you build shared-only you won't get those intermediate 
libraries built, and hence dhcp will fail as well.

All in all, it seems pretty broken.

Regards.
