That’s not true and never has been.  The --enable-developer is just a convenience setting for **BIND 9 Developers** that
enables various options - one of them does enable --with-cmocka.

I have no idea what you are doing to the sources and to the build system.

This works:

$ mkdir /tmp/bind9
$ cd /tmp/bind9
$ curl -sSLO https://downloads.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.18.0/bind-9.18.0.tar.xz
$ tar -xJf bind-9.18.0.tar.xz
$ cd bind-9.18.0/
$ ./configure
$ make -j
$ make test
[…]
make[7]: Entering directory '/tmp/bind9/bind-9.18.0/bin/tests/system'
PASS: auth

If it doesn’t work on your system, it’s something **you** have done to the source tarball as this:

simply doesn’t happen on vanilla build:

doc/misc$ make test
make: Nothing to be done for 'test’.

I will repeat that again - you should understand what you are doing and why you are doing that - that includes
all your local patches, changes to the default options and any other modifications to the build system.
