Skip system-specific configuration

Build switch

As part of the Build program's configuration efforts, it executes the devtools/bin/configure.sh script. That script attempts to help you automatically configure db (3) and a resolver library for your system. First, the standard include and library directories are searched for db (3) support, and, if found, NEWDB is defined for confMAPDEF .

Second, configure.sh searches for an appropriate resolver library and modifies confLIBS appropriately:

 -lresolv   for BIND before V4.9  -lresolv -l44bsd  for BIND V4.9.x -lbind  for BIND V8.x 

This -S Build switch prevents these two automatic configuration strategies.
