Strange things in v8.2.2 on Solaris7

[BOFH]

Yes, absolute paths were set:

ie: /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /etc, /etc/bind, /usr, &c.  All I did
was remove the /local/ part of the pre-defined paths.

This was a clean install of both the OS and BIND (i.e. re-partition and
format the disks) so there was not a pre-existing ndc anywhere on the
system.  What seems to be happening is that the named and ndc binaries are
hard-coded somehow for the /usr/local/xxx paths, despite any contrary
settings during the configuration and build.
