Ok, here it is:

#I have a simple little program here, that uses this function.
#Does anybody know where sun put it? Linking seem to blow up.

Most were correct.

The answer is simple: I had installed the DNS stuff, but did not

fix fixed this.

PS: My fix was a simple little routine, added to libc, that
     printed out: "FIX ME TO USE DNS!", neat, eh?
