 Looking at other BSDs, OpenBSD removed that entire code block back in
 2005[1] (after first having merged nameser_compat.h into nameser.h),
 and it hasn't been present in FreeBSD since at least 1998. So the
 common approach is to just remove it, as Martin suggested.
 
 (They also both use _BYTE_ORDER/_BIG_ENDIAN/_LITTLE_ENDIAN/_PDP_ENDIAN
 rather than BYTE_ORDER/BIG_ENDIAN/LITTLE_ENDIAN/PDP_ENDIAN, as the
 former aren't guarded by specific macro definitions like _XOPEN_SOURCE
 or _NETBSD_SOURCE.)
