I think this version was compiled without systemd support. This means we don't use the notify socket and hence systemd will consider the service not started after TimeoutSec/TimeoutStartSec (90 seconds by default, see the DefaultTimeoutStartSec in your /etc/systemd/system.conf for the configured number). Please install systemd-devel and configure will detect this (or force its use with --enable-systemd). On systemd machines we prefer to run as a Type=notify service to ensure the service manager can be sure we started correctly. See also our specfile[1] on how we build the packages we ship on repo.powerdns.com.
