+Building Perl on a system that has also BIND (headers and libraries)
+installed may run into troubles because BIND installs its own netdb.h
+and socket.h, which may not agree with the operating system's ideas of

+view of the world.  You may have to tweak -Dlocincpth and -Dloclibpth
+to avoid the BIND.
