Well with a couple of changes I got it to work correctly on Solaris 8 x86. I ran configure a bunch of times with various corrections to configure.in because I originally got the HAVE_RES_INIT problem like the others did. Then of course the link problem with -lresolv came up during the compile. But I used the patch that Andrey sent for acconfig.h then I added a line to configure.in and voila! it worked perfectly for me "out of the box" so to speak.

if test "x$blb_cv_c_res_init" = "xyes"; then AC_DEFINE(HAVE_RES_INIT) + LIBS="$LIBS -lresolv" fi

dnl Checks for library functions.

That's all it took. This may work for some others that are having the -lresolv link error. I saw where it looked like it was checking for res_init twice, once it said yes then the next time it said no, I think what it is doing the first time it is looking for the function definition inside the header and the next time it is looking inside libresolv because when the line above was added it said "yes" both times instead of "no" the second time.

I'd rather add an AC_CHECK_LIB() function.
