As pointed out in
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-bugs/199907/msg00021.html
the basic problem is that configure builds a program that calls res_query
without including resolv.h as it should.
Some googling led to another approach (grep for res_query)
http://cvs.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gnupg/configure.ac?rev=1.73
Does linux use a recent bind adding underscores (grep res_query resolv.h)?
Does OpenSSH's configure behave OK there? If so, why?
