This is also affecting me in Slackware 13.37 x86_64. The fix didn't
work, because "make install DESTDIR=/path/to/my/package" fails:

making all in /tmp/bind-build/bind-9.8.1-P1/bin/tests/system/dlzexternal
make[4]: Entering directory `/tmp/bind-build/bind-9.8.1-
P1/bin/tests/system/dlzexternal`
gcc -shared -o driver.so driver.o
driver.o: file not recognized: File truncated
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [driver.so] Error 1

and so on for [3], [2], [1], ending here.

Using ./configure [ ... ] --without-dlopen [ ... ] got it to compile
and install, which is fine for me, but what should I do if I needed
DLZ support?
