Seems like this version of cups absolutely requires zeroconf. You can
configure with either avahi or mdnsresponder, but the build fails if
neither is specified. I have not looked into it to tell if this is an error
in the port or that cups now will only run when a zeroconf resolver is
available.

Not sure about the dwarf error. I have only seen that when building with
debug, so I am surprised to see it during the build. It may not be a real
issue.
