[Bug libc/799] New: Resolver on GNU/kFreeBSD fails with IPv4 nameservers

["aurelien at aurel32 dot net" <sourceware-bugzilla at sources dot redhat dot com>]

When used on GNU/kFreeBSD (Debian GNU/kFreeBSD), the resolver fails if the
nameserver are IPv4 nameservers, but works if the nameserver are IPv6 nameservers. 

The problem is that the socklen argument of connect() is always the length of an
IPv6 socket address, even if the socket address is an IPv4 one. It does not hurt
the Linux kernel, but it does hurt the FreeBSD kernel.

Patch will follow. Please note that this patch doesn't break resolver on GNU/Linux.
