I took a closer look at this build failure.

If for the Blackfin target the FLAT binary format is choosen, the 
bfin-uclinux-uclibc toolchain is used. This toolchain does not come with 
a libdl library. With dynamic linking shairplay uses the libdns_sd.so" 
which is an mDSN backend.

If libdl is not supported the user has to provide an external mDNS 
backend himself. This is not done by the libshairplay package so the 
compiler complains about the missing dns_sd.h header file.

One solution would be to add the dns_sd.h header file which is
a) part of the mDNSResponder project from Apple licensed under the terms 
of the Apache License, Version 2.0
b) part of the avahi-compat-libdns_sd plugin
c) anything else which is compatible to the DNS Service Discovery API

Maybe a comment in the menuconfig of the package about this issue would 
be the best solution?
