The bind packages (at least, -libs and -utils) have grown by 200-300% in the past few days. Just trying to make sure that there isn't any unintended static linking happening, although there's nothing that immediately jumps out at me. But the size jump is an order which is usually suspicious
Yes. It was because 9.5.0-{27,28}.b2 versions were build with -fmudflapth compiler option due debugging purposes. 9.5.0-29.b2 is built without this option so binary/library size should be "normal".
