This worked fine for me with a fresh install.

The problem turned out to be my /usr/lib/libresolv.a. On my old 
installation, this was an archive. On a fresh installation, this was a 
symlink to /usr/lib/libminires.dll.a. It looks like the postinstall for 
minires-devel did not replace my existing /usr/lib/libresolv.a since it 
already existed.
