Assigning to maintainer.

You're running a five-year-old OS. Patches gladly accepted.

I did a simple ./configure --disable-dynamic followed by a port build adns

and the problem went away.

Maybe just a simple variant that allows us to set the configure option ?

[toby@…]

Ok, i committed a change that might do that. Let me know.

Works fine. Thanks.

I can also confirm that the issue existed on Panther and also on Tiger (at least on PowerPC). Toby initially committed r38923 which fixed the build on Panther. Toby then undid that fix and committed a different fix in r39235 which also fixed the build for Tiger.
