Configuring on solaris 7, with sun's compiler.... Looking at config.log I notice that it does some kind of test for res_search; it found -lbind from the ISC bind 8.2.2 distribution (ok), but it didn't like the res_search that it found it didn't like, so it chose -lresolv instead (the solaris-supplied client library). The test it uses in configure is guaranteed to fail against -lbind. Why is this?
