I had started to look into this a few months ago, and setting
--with-libbind=PATH to use the bind provided by Buildroot seemed to be
a better option (in order to avoid possibly installing two instances
of bind on the target, either standalone or inside the dhcp binaries
if statically linked, and both bind versions were compatible at that
time), though I have not yet tested it.

Best regards,
Benoît
