I will have to do this in a couple of days as I will be going out of town early Friday, and won't be where I can test this until Sunday night or Monday morning. I had run into this issue a week or so ago when building on another Linux platform, but didn't follow up at the time as we normally use djbdns, not bind. Looking at the code after running the command through cpp only to get everything expanded, it looks as though the ``caps |= ...'' is operating on a structure, which really is not a very sensible thing to do if one expects portability. Then again diddling bits like this has portability issues in any case as it could run into problems depending on the endianess of the machine.
