There appears to be some duplicated functionality in libbind.a and libc.a,
and due to differences in .o partitioning and exposed labels, duplicate
symbol errors are produced when statically linking 'dig' and various other
bind-related programs. Excerpt of 'make build' output:

Stop.

This was discovered while building -current -static on arm32. My mk.conf:
	UVM=1
	LDSTATIC=-static
	NOPIC=1

The conflict comes from funky defines that add two underscores to many of
the identifiers in libbind.a, and libc.a references to the single-underscore
versions from elsewhere in libc, which yank in the libc version of a .o that
has already been pulled in from libbind -- thus the labels they both export
cause duplicate definition errors. Here is a set of kludgy patches that get
things to build, hopefully with no subtle behavioral dependency problems.
