mac emacs port busted.

[Doug Turner]

if there is a better place for this kind of reports, please redirect me.


when building emacs for the mac os x with:

./configure --with-carbon --without-x
make bootstrap


the result is:

gcc -I/sw/include -L/sw/lib  -prebind -framework Carbon -framework

I believe that we need to ensure that the link includes -lresolv.  I  
also believe that this is related to or a direct cause of the check  
in to configure.in:

revision 1.477

+31 -4;  commitid: IJUAzOun4gWWAXBs;
(HAVE_RES_INIT): Define if res_init() exists.
(HAVE_LIBRESOLV): Also define if we are using res_init().


No patch; sorry.  Happy to try one if you do not have a mac for  
testing.  If I get some time, i will put something together and post  
it here.
