Hi,

I have problems configuring distcc-0.14 on Solaris.

[...]
checking resolv.h usability... no
checking resolv.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: resolv.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: resolv.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: resolv.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
[...]

I see distcc-0.14 is using autoconf 2.54. Have you upgraded
from a previous version of autoconf? There are known problems
with autconf 2.54 and better. See for example:
	http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98880
Would it possible to revert to the previously used version
of autconf until current versions of autoconf are fixed?

Anyway, I fix this problem by hacking configure. Change from:
ac_header_compiler=no
to:
ac_header_compiler=yes
in line 2738. Once this is done, distcc-0.14 builds just fine,
no warnings except the usual _ABS one in popt.

Regards,
