BIND 8.1.2 uncompilable under 2.1.9x

Bind 8.1.2 T3B cannot be compiled under Linux 2.1.9x if you set it up to
use a separate objects directory.

The reason for this is that their way to symlink to the sources has
links of the form SRC -> ../SRC/foo, nested a few levels deep. Linux
limits to 5 levels, which isn't enough. Oops.

- Increase the default to 10 or so
- Make it configurable, there's this new /proc/sys/fs subdirectory...

Sorry, no patch for now, somebody else can do that.
