IIRC, when I was building bind 9.2.3 for HP-UX and Solaris, shared
libraries wouldn't be built by default (however, bear in mind this was
3 years ago, and you are trying BIND 9.4.1). I think you need to
explicitly put '--enable-shared' in the configure command line. I
don't think I've ever put anything after, i.e. '--enable-
shared=<something>'. Also, it seems the help message is wrong, as it
was 3 years ago.

HTH,
