10.3 or 10.4. I'm on 10.4.11. I tried a variety of workarounds:

The dnsserver make rules are a little broken. It gets passed the
default
*FLAGS lists but not LIBS. Thank you for finding this.
Was it Makefile or src/Makefile you changed for (1) and (2)?
dsserver is
built in src/Makefile.

Thanks for the hint. I only modified ./Makefile. I wasn't aware of
the other Makefile(s) :P
Updating src/Makefile apparently does the trick too.
On a related note, does dnsserver not support IPv6 name servers? I
keep seeing "IPv6 nameservers not supported on this resolver" during
squid startup in cache.log.
Only on Linux.
dnsserver is deprecated and only supported at all because the internal
DNS client does not yet support use alternative NSS resolver methods
like mDNS. But to gain that it has some severe speed limitations (~200
lookups per second maximum).
