   It is not a warning, it is fatal error in fact:
   /usr/include/resolv.h:95: `res_send_qhook' declared with an exception
   specification

Whatever.

   Ok.

Forget about it.  If we go with my suggestion we'll have to change too
many things, all the way up to gethostbyname(), and probably compile a
lot o stuff with -fexceptions too.  Let's just declare that throwing
an exception inside those hook functions simply isn't supported.

   Fine if you #undef _res in linuxthreads/internals.h and declare the
   structure.

I was doing that in pthreads.c, since that's the only place in the
LinuxThreads sources where we actually want to reference the global
_res variable.
