Good, thanks a lot. Another issues:

Do you mean the patching file (https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/
pull/2554.patch) can be used for the released version, say, for my case, 
pdns-recursor-3.7.3?

On the webpage you given here, I also noticed the following descriptions 
at the bottom of that webpage:

----
This branch has conflicts that must be resolved
Only those with write access to this repository can merge pull requests.
----

So, I'm not sure whether the git version of pdns can be used or not for 
now.  Several days before, I've tried to compile the git version of pdns-
recursor, which had the version as follows at that time:  pdns-
recursor-0.0.gf997fb0.dirty

Just as the name said -- the git version was dirty at that time -- though 
I compiled it successfully, but I finally obtained a not-working binary 
file.
