Indeed it seems that both recursor and auth use the system libc:
ubuntu@dns:~$ ldd /usr/sbin/pdns_server
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffd3cd46000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f4e844e8000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f4e842e4000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
(0x00007f4e840c6000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f4e83d01000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f4e847ee000)
ubuntu@dns:~$ ldd /usr/sbin/pdns_recursor
