You're in the wrong spot.  The minres code has been folded into the
Cygwin DLL years ago, with the switch from Cygwin 1.5 to 1.7.  There's
no external resolver lib in the Cygwin distro anymore since then.  The
Minires package is only provided by the 32 bit distro for backward
compatibility with very old packages.  Don't try to link against this
DLL at all for new packages:  -lresolv will link your resolver calls
to the Cygwin DLL's resolver calls.
